SUCKS!

I just reloaded the OS on my laptop and dloaded all the updates and IE8 was one of 'em.

It has crashed everytime so far - not sure if it was the site causing a lag/problem or what.
It happened once when I had two tabs of YT open and then tried to close all tabs - just sat there and then said "Not Responding."

I'm a die hard PC guy and my brother is a manager for Microsoft but dang - I'm about to run to the Mac store and get me a MacBook and call it a day.

I'm hoping a new computer combined with Windows 7 will help IE8 perform better but we'll see....

It's been a pain since it updated on mine too. It's starting to get irritating.

 

I'm definitely going to email my bro and tell him how many people are having problems after this thread is on here for a few days.

This is ridiculous.

1 word..

Firefox

 

I might go back to using Safari for Yotatech 'cause I haven't had any issues with it so far...

 

I only use Firefox, but I like to keep my XP Pro tower up to date, and also my Vista laptop.

IE 8 went smooth with Vista on the laptop. but my gaming tower the first time the PC rebooted after the updates it crashed and rebooted itself.
That was the only time too.
That was probably the first Tuesday or second of last month.
One of those Tuesdays is when they do their updates once a month.

I manually update too, I do not use the auto one.

I checked out IE 8 and there was so many options now it was crazy.
Surfed a tad with it, went ho hum, and never opened it again.

Firefox all the way for me.
To many good add ons such as pop up/ad blocker, PDF conversion, and so much more.

 

I broke free of microsoft on all my home computers almost two years ago. I can't stand using internet exploder at work but it reminds me how much I love Firefox. I use several Firefox add-ons that are very cool and useful. Safari seems to also be a good browser but I've used it only on a very limited basis so I don't that much about it. No piece of software is perfect but geez, does it have to be as bad as what microsoft often times puts out?

 

I've had no issues with it whatsoever. Running Vista 64 bit and Windows 7 Release candidate. Both 64 bit version.
I do still like firefox for browsing, I wish they would come out with a proper 64 bit version.

There is one, but the add-ons don't work.

Also updated my Vista to SP2, all seems good there also.

 

never had a single problem with firefox
