I agree. IE8 wouldn't work right with the cookie for here. I kept having to log in, even after I deleted the cookie for here & got another.

I'm back to Vista now.

Don't forget IE8 is beta. Some problems are to be expected.

When will it ever make it out of beta?

Are there problems with IE8 in Windows 7 ?

You should give FF 3.1 Beta 2 a Spin.

The new default JavaScript processor rocks.
It just blows IE7 and FF3 away.

I use some WebBased applications that are java heavy and the difference is incredible.

Can you run 3.1 beta separate from Firefox 3.0 or does it over write 3.0?

noscript and flashblock alone are reasons I stick to FF.

yeah mine too... prob 300ms or so

IE8 worked like crap on my Vista... It kept asking me for the same settings every time I used it and with pages with flash the CPU utilization would jump to 50%.

Back to Opera for me.

i think you can specify a different location if you want.
