"Very irritating"
Version: Windows Internet Explorer 8 for MSN (Windows XP) 8.0.6001.18702IC
Pros
Right now I'm ready to rollback to IE7
Cons
Nag, nag, nag
Summary
This browser is making me irritable, even crazy. Everytime I start it up I get the Welcome To IE8 screen like a nag, with no option to "Don't show this again." It is constantly nagging me to turn on autocomplete or to remember a password/username. This creates bunches of additional clicks. The tabbed browsing is complicated and I often wind up offline again. The problem is, I've tried Firefox and Opera...they're no better. Will anyone ever create a simple, fast browser that doesn't forget everything the moment you go offline? And one that won't nag and nag and nag?
I gotta add this. Man, oh man, this browser is crap.

Version: Windows Internet Explorer 8 for MSN (Windows XP) 8.0.6001.18702IC
Pros
none a terrable browser,IExplorer 8 is this years newest version of internet explorer but slow like all the other I explorers.
Cons
Internet Explorer* this years version of Internet explorer is just like the other internet explorers slow,crashes,does not load pages terrable.A wast of time and should be got rid of and replaced with Flock,firefox or Google chrome instead.
Summary
Internet explorer 8 like all the other internet explorers is useless and why its still the main browser I do not know. Because it is still the main browser you need it to dowload any new browser such as Firefox or flock.Why dont they just get rid of Internet explorer and replace it with Flock or google chrome instead.I have had nothing but problems with Internet explorer and all versions of it.andrea.

"Still one of the Best! IE is more dependable then ever!"
Version: Windows Internet Explorer 8 for MSN (Windows XP) 8.0.6001.18702IC
Pros
Fast and depedable. One of the Best Browsers! No problems in the past three years.
Cons
Security is always an issue. After trying, Firefox, Chrome and Opera. IE8 seems to be as Secure as any of the above mentioned. Security starts with the user not the browser. A+ for IE8.
Summary
Probably the most experianced of all Browsers. Slow to develope, However IE8 is a very dependable, fast browsing experiance. Very solid robust. Slim lined and provides additional built in security for browsing. Recomended for any Internet level. Easy to install and un-install.

"Crashing, freezing, and unable to access internet."
Version: Windows Internet Explorer 8 for MSN (Windows XP) 8.0.6001.18702IC
Pros
I haven't found any pros over ie7.
Cons
I have found nothing but cons.
Summary
I really wish I had ie7, you know, never downloading ie8. My computer never crashed from the internet as much. It freezes more than ever as well. The only way that I can access internet explorer most times is by using Google. I only have 512 mb ram, but that shouldn't matter, right? When is the next update. I can't reload ie7, so how long before ie9 is developed?
