Many businesses I work with (some quite big) are still using IE6.

Microsoft needs to exit the browser racket. IE8 is crap. But lucky for us, we can just get away with putting in a single meta tag to force it to behave like IE7 so we do not need yet another set of browser-specific hacks to make web pages work in IE8.

As for IE6, why is anyone still using this. No one uses Netscape 4 anymore, right?

I had nothing but trouble with IE7. But IE8 is working great on my laptop with WinXP-Pro. Or, to be more precise, it has worked great since I installed one of the early fixes last spring.

IE8 is a steaming pile. I have had to remove it from all of my computers as it kept crashing and finally corrupted the ntdll.dll file.

M$ has been putting out enormous piles of crap lately.

IE8 is quite good. I haven’t used Firefox until recently and was pretty impressed. It’s actually very good. I think I’ll still stick with IE8 though.

Google Chrome is a joke. It feels like early 2000’s era browsing at best. Haven’t used Opera in awhile to can’t compare it.

IE8 is fine with me. I use Firefox and IE8 about 50/50 and have gotten plenty of viruses using Firefox.
