I recently downloaded Internet Explorer 8, thinking that everything would be fine. I was mistaken. Since I started using the browser, I have had problems getting to a large number of websites. Everytime I go to one of them, An error message pops up and tells me that it needs to shut down. The browsing speed has slowed to roughly half of what I normally had. I have had the misfortune of having my IP address erased three times. Why can't the pin-heads at Microsoft work ALL of the bugs out of something BEFORE they put it into circulation. If you haven't had the pleasure of trying to use this browser, my advice is to avoid it like the plague. The worst part is that there isn't any way to really send a complaint directly to Microsoft. A pox on Bill Gates.
