Well for those of us who bought the hype and moved to Win7, using IE8 is not
an option. Like so many of the other posts I am not impressed with either at
all.
Since this is a post about IE8 I'll stay on that subject. The inability to
merge toolbars is decades overdue. The favorites bar is not used by anyone I
know, although I am sure there are some folks who just leave it suck up space
on their window.
Security (Safety - LOL) is cumbersome, intrusive and so ineffective that
almost all of us still depend on third party software and have to disable the
'features' of IE to make things work.
There seems to be much less flexibility than IE 6 or 7 in setting up
anything.
Printing is worse that previous editions
IE8 seems to simply be a vehicle to promote the plethora of add ons that are
proliferating the scene.
It seems a shame that with all of the intelligence of Microsoft that basic
functionality has to be relegated to add-ons and garbage remains the heart of
the product.
