What's the difference? Saw an ad that it's optimised for msn. Anyone have it or is using it?

I just installed it an hour ago and probably too early to make statements but so far its fast!
Currently trying to figure out why the tabs go coloured sometimes.

I used it for a little. Honestly, apart from some small changes in the way it reads pages (it still doesn't fix most issues) and the GUI change, I haven't really noticed a difference. =/

haha^ i'll have to upgrade on my other computer, even thinking about ie on this computer freezes it. i went crazy the other day and downloaded about 6 browsers. I got the last version of netscape they released, which actually isnt bad. I have the 3D version of chrome from april fools day, so thats pretty kick ass. safari claims to be the fastest, but its not all that great imo. and finally, i got avant, which is pretty much IE with a different name sucks. ff still my favorite

This isn't a debate, i'm wondering what the difference is from IE7 to IE8 and if there's any point upgrading.

So you still prefer FF over IE? I prefer anything over IE really, but that's coming from a webmaster standpoint. IE just pisses me off no matter what version I'm using. Though per the discussion I upgraded because I had a small hope it'd be better than previous versions... aaaand it wasn't.

They only thing impressive about IE8 is its browsing speed (in terms of loading webpages, but opening a new tab takes almost 2 whole seconds) and its smartscreen filter. The smartscreen filter prevents you from downloading malware and viruses as it scans anything being put on your computer or on memory with windows defender, windows malicious malware removal, windows onecare antivirus signatures. Chrome has a function like smartscreen filter but doesnt scan executable files which is a major route of computer infections.

That'd drive me insane lol, means you couldnt play any Ijji games because they all, for some reason, scan through as malicious programs lol.
