IE8

i use IE7 a great chunk of the time...itunes loaded me (near) useless safari, and i dont use firefox as much as I could.
 
ie7 and vista drove a stake through using windows for me. wife has vista and ie7 but she won't use ie7. long as you use windows you will eventually have to move to ie8 or use firefox, opera, chrome, etc....

have you tried maxthon? the last couple of years i ran windows this was the only ie based browser i ran. it still came in 2nd to firefox usage.
 
Been using IE8 for about 4 months, still have some problems with Vista, but not nearly as much as IE7. Tried firefox about 6 years ago, didn't like it, maybe it is better now, but I'll stick with IE for now.
 
I've switched to Firefox recently. It's much faster than IE7/8.
 
I swtiched to IE8 on my Vista PC when it launched a couple months ago. I like it a lot better than IE7. Runs faster, and there are a lot of cool features. I don't use Firefox. I tried it back when it was called Mozilla, and never used it since. Maybe it's better now, but it sucked with no active X support. I've also heard that because Firefox is becoming more popular, hackers are targeting it more with spyware.

Oddly enough, at work we are just starting testing to roll out IE7 and Vista. We're only a couple years behind the curve here. :rolleyes:

People always gripe about having to put up with MS security pacthes and such, and gripe about all the IE security problems. But alll those security issues are a result of it being what everyone uses. Like you said, as Firefox becomes more popular and more widely used, it's become a more popular target, and the security problems will be just as bad as they are on IE.

LOL Just as I was reading this, I noticed there was an ad for IE8 at the bottom of the page with a button to "Download Now."
 
XP and IE8 at work and Vista and IE7 at home. IE8 still has problems displaying some sites properly. Some sites don't work with IE8 at all. I used Firefox for a while and got away from it but now I'm back to Firefox. There are a lot of neat add-ons that makes browsing better.
And, if you watch videos Firefox is better than IE, IMO.
