    I ran it on my laptop for a few days and ran into issues with Yahoo email. If you have an attachment and view the attachment and want to delete the email, I ended up having to constantly refresh the page. I removed it and went back to 7, no more issues, I even tried compatibility mode same deal.

    It's for devs only. Don't run it, there's too many issues with it.

    Plus if you run it with XP SP3 you will have to remove the service pack before you can remove it.

    I've been using it for about a week now, and haven't had any real issue with it to speak of at the moment. I'm using it with Vista vice XP. I'm sure IE8 was designed more with Vista in mind than XP in mind which may account for my lack of any real problems. IE8 should be a fine enough browser once they release the actual model.

    J/K. I generally don't like messing with Beta software.

    It'd be okay to test out if it wasn't so integrated with Windows. I know you can use hacks to remove IE but that tends to break bits of Windows.

    IE8 does provide an uninstall feature. It's just not under the add/remove programs. It's in the Add/Remove Windows Components. A lot of people think once IE8 is installed you're stuck due to it not showing in add/remove programs, but that's not the case.

    I'm not. I'm just saying that if there are any bugs then it may cause bigger issues since its basically part of Windows. There are already uninstall issues if you've got SP3 installed.

    Well, since I have SP3 on my current laptop I am not going to install.

    Thanks for the info.
