He does say that he found it to be slower than Firefox, but it may be that I’m using Win7 and so either Firefox doesn’t run as well, or IE8 runs better.

So you are running the beta version?

I’m a recent convert to Firefox 3, since 3.0.5 to the newest 3.0.7. I will say it is a bunch faster than IE7 and IE8. In Windows 7 IE8 does seem quicker than it does under Vista Sp1 or SP2 RC1 or XP SP3. Firefox 3 is also quicker in Win7 and I’d say it is neck and neck with IE8. Only problem is my version of IE8 crashed in Win7 so I have been using FF exclusively until Microsoft offers a stand alone download of IE 8 for Win7 or if there is a way to repair the version I have now that is inoperable.
