IE8 not compatable with Wal-Mart web site

K

Every time I attempt to go to the WalMart site, I get a dialog box asking "Do
you want to save this file, or find a program online to open it?" It's a
website home page that can be viewed with EVERY BROWSER (Firefox, Opera,
Safari & Chrome) BUT IE8!!! Yet another snafu in IE8. In my case, it's the
last one I will deal with because I am tired of the BS and total lack of
support from Micro$oft. People have been complaing about IE8's instability
since it first came out and still no recognition from Micro$oft that there
are serious flaws with it. I've already emailed the Walmart people and told
them that people using IE8 can't view their site.

Absolutely no problem with www.walmart.com on this computer using IE8.
What are you smoking?

Crack, mixed with heroin, with a hashish chaser. Why?

For you and your ignorant buddy Jeff all I have to say is you both need a
craniorectumectomy. As you can see by the ONLY intelligent response by MS MVP
PA Bear, there is a problem with IE8 and the Walmart site. Check the link in
his post and you will see that.
