Microsoft Internet Explorer 8 - full of bugs

IE8 just launched - it's full of bugs. Keep Mozilla
I've just downloaded and tried out Microsoft's new internet browser. Their videos at the USA site microsoft.com are better than their uk site microsoft.co.uk. They give the impression that IE8 is bug free and faster than Mozilla but this is not the case. I keep getting the common "script error" and no matter what fix you try you can't seem to stop them.

The installation progress started very well but then it screwed up translating my settings. There is another bug in loading search engine URLs to the quick search menu - I got an encoding error and the pulldown corrections did not work either. Next I tried manually loading a search engine URL and IE8 asked for the TEST facility. Whoops not good.


I recommend you keep with Mozilla.
