Not as yet, I honestly wasn’t aware that IE8 was ‘out there’ (prob because I’ve been using Firefox for years now, although I haven’t upgraded to FF3 yet).
Microsoft and Google at each other’s throats?
POPCORN PLEASE! LOL
Anybody else remember:
"NT ain't done until Lotus won't run." ????"Microsoft: SOS" (Same old crap)
I’d be surprised if Microsoft introduces any product that rivals anything or anyone anymore.
I primarily use Firefox, but still have occasion to launch IE most days. Have launched it today, but haven’t had any notification that a new version is available.
Firefox and dogpile.
If I can avoid MS and Google, more power to me!
So they disabled double-click (to spite googly?)
Any further info. at link?
Please don’t make me go to bugmenot....
There’s a new search engine ..
phonetically ‘COOL’ but isn’t spelled that way.
Supposed to be very good.... anyone?

I had to switch printers at my old work area on Friday. Had to shut down before that, because deleting a print job doesn’t actually work (the print queue remains stuffed up, with the “deleted” job remaining, showing that is being deleted). When I started back up I needed a driver, the OS didn’t find it, but offered an “update” from MS, which turned out to be a malicious software remover (that’s really what it said) called Internet Explorer 8.
When I needed to go find and download the driver, guess what? Version 8 wouldn’t allow me to type in the Google search box — it was as if there wasn’t an input field there.
The little “livesearch” box in the upper right used — I’m sure you’ve guessed — Bing.
It’s just another one of those restraint-of-trade pimp jobs that would land the capos running that criminal enterprise in Redmond in prison, if there were justice.
IE 8? POS! Has a minor tendency to lock up when opening multiple tabs. Kill this instance (of IE with all open tabs), and it will kill all instances of IE8 running. Compatibility issues from Java apps. Speed, no different. Udderwise, it’s just perfect!
