IE 8 beta problem

[Derek]

I almost downloaded the latest IE 8 but decided otherwise after some negative reviews. Where ever I go in forums, people have been complaining that the browser has problems. It crash your system and still slow like the old IE. People here try it before?

[blueT]

Yeah, IE is having a lot of problems now. I can't even use it to open some of the important sites required for my work. I never use it anymore. Just try something else, like Mozilla or Opera.

You can use IE6. Thats a most stable IE right now. If not, you can try IE7. for IE8, i'm not recommend you use this one right now.

That do you expect tho? lol IE8 is still a beta, people can complain all they want but when its ready it will be the second browser to pass the acid test (only firefox 2 does it atm)

[hwang]

Yes, that is what I read also. It's not worth trying it until they have fully tested and it and released the full version. Try to your current one at the moment.

[Llamalord]

I think I will still try it in a month or two, depending on how long its takes for them to release a more stable version of IE8. Never know, on the next update it might be better then firefox

[Derek]

In that case, I will only use it after they release full version. I just excited to see Microsoft like when they release Vista, the design is very good. How many you here use IE?

[hwang]

not me. But I wouldn't want to even install it at my machine. Maybe after they released the full version, I'll check out the performance using my friends com who is an IE supporter to check out the difference and whether the enhancement is worth it.

[Derek]

Yes, I hope to do the same thing. In that case, I rather not install to my system and try out. Using friend computer is a good idea and save you all the trouble

Yap. All new always have some bug and problem. If you love to use IE, use IE6. Thats stable and the fastest one. I already try it and recommend it. If not, you can use opera or mozilla.

I just love firefox, and because its opensource its fun to mod. So if you have the knowledge then I'd say use Firefox and ignore everything else :P

[hwang]

Looks like no matter where I go, people are giving advice to avoid IE 8 "at all cost". Wow, looks like Microsoft sure makes a lot of mess over there. Their reputation is at stake I would say..

I will never try it if I were you. It is still in beta stage and I wouldn't want to be a guinea pig.
