They already did push it through last nights update. Vista. I will let you know how it goes. Rarely use IE I like my Firefox. I miss Firefox at work. Guessing IE8 will install at work tonight. That will be the real test.

Thanks Holly!

I for one like to let the computer do the necessarily updates and like to keep it updated, but knowing the history of Vista and IE8 I am so worry to allow it.

So far I have not found any other articles of controversy... but as they say... "week 3"

Eagerly awaiting your finds!

I'm just now updating my computer(i do it weekly) lets see how it goes

Hey you two... what are your reports on this?

I have had IE7 for a while but have been holding off on IE8. I have my updates set so that it notifies me first and so far I have not let it install IE8. So I am also curious as to what people here think. (I have windows XP and IE7)

I'm still on IE6, avoiding all the things I didn't like about IE7 and waiting for a better report on IE8. My computers may go to the grave with IE6 and WinXP.

IE 8 IMO looks like IE7 - though I never use IE... so IDK what the differenace is. Heck you could put IE 6, 5,4,3,2,1 in front of me and i wont know the difference as I've never used it other then at school...
