Had trouble with IE7 crashing every hour in the past few weeks so dowloaded the IE8 beta with no problems what so ever.

I don't know what IE 8 is like, but apparently many folks stepped back to IE 6 after experiencing problems with IE 7... ;)...!

Paul..G-BPLF...and IE 6... :)...!

Members experiences earlier in the forum, and one of my Lads personal experiences in his IT job, they all went back to IE 6 after trying out IE7.

Me....Using Mozilla Firefox, I have stayed with IE 6 as a standby.

Happily on Firefox.

I don't know what is causing the issue, but the Google on IE8 has completely failed. If you search with Google (toolbar, or website) then IE will crash straight away. I don't know why, but it is terrible.... So I shall stick with Firefox 2 for now.

Opera & IE7... I just am too lazy to uninstall IE7 'cause IE6 is far better.  ;D

It also depends on which browser my ISP wants to use... Safari almost always works and opera is ok. Firefox sometimes works and IE7 only at night. ;D Luckily we have a new ISP and I can uninstall opera and Safari. But I run firefox every now and then.

Get Safari for windows - It's much better than all of them!!!
