Assume that in the first line you mean Internet Explorer 7 and an upgrade to Internet Explorer 8, no?!

I tried it once to test something but removed it straight away as it messed with feedDemon.

I'm running IE8 under the Windows7 beta release and it seem to be behaving quite well. It's still in beta, so I wouldn't recommend it for your primary browser. That being said, it's pretty good. No problems so far.

But I still prefer Firefox 3.0.5, which also works quite well under Windows 7.

I've used IE 8 beta on my laptop and its been "O.K." not great, not bad, and definitely not anything I would dump Firefox for.

I'm going to download the latest version and start playing with it this weekend.
