One thing about IE7 and IE8 really pisses me off: page search. I can't for the life of me figure out why MS didn't include a FF-like search bar at the bottom of the browser. Until they do, I won't even consider IE.
Digg wrings the weasel's little neck.IE8 and Opera actually are at least useable here.FF simply is not. I now wait 20 seconds for FF to start to a blank page.All the auto-update crap is off, all of it.yet those boxes end up rechecked again?HTF does that happen?Opera and IE8 pop onto the screen, bang. The latest iteration of FF opens new tabs to google.No thankyou. Starting to a blank is no longer an option.No thank you.WTF are they doing?Imagine iif IE was bouncing every new blank to thier search?
Hey everyone, I've done a nice HD video walkthrough of Windows 7 and go over IE8 InPrivate Browsing and more... Check it out on my site www.atomicsub.net, thanks and have a great day!and DIGG everything, that you like of course :-)

And in it's 8th iteration, it's still not standards compliant. Meh.

It did pass the Acid test. Acid2, though, and not Acid3.

I haven't used Internet Excrement since Firefox 1.xx so I'll never actually find out.
