My IE8 Experience…

I took the plunge and download IE 8 when Microsoft let me know about it via the updates manager and I un-installed it shortly after.

Anyway, at fitst IE 8 seemed to be OK but then it started freezing when I opened multiple tabs.

Then when I clicked an email link, it would keep reusing the same window and sometimes freezing if it wasn’t loaded already. And this would cause Outlook Express to freeze.

The freezing issues could be related to a plug-in but I only have Google Toolbar, RoboForm and Snag-It installed and I’m not getting rid of them. Or something else that I am using. Possibly Java. But that’s irrelevant.

I should have known better than to install a first release. This is true for most companies though.

Maybe the next release.

Of course now that I have IE7 back, I am still having the issue of shortcuts not opening in a new tab. I always forget the exact way to fix this. I’ll make a post about it when I remember.

P.S. Yes I know about FireFox, Chrome, etc. but I would rather use what 80% of the World does since I am always designing sites. And yes, I know I could switch when designing but prefer not to.
