I've been getting these ads and stuff suggesting that I upgrade to IE8, maybe 7, but I think 8, whatever the latest version. Anyhoo, I was wondering if any of you guys had made the upgrade, if it's better and really all that different. I'm happy with teh current version, but if you guys also recommend the change, I reckon I'll do it.

I made the upgrade first as beta. It is working better now that it isn't beta.

OK, so one person for no difference, one person against the upgrade, and one person using technical jargon beyond my comprehension (I can't even tell if that's a joke or what)

beta = pre-release version, when they're still working out all the major bugs :)

I haven't upgraded yet, but I use firefox and only use IE when having to test something for work. I'll upgrade when our office does, but until then, I'm leaving well enough alone.

It's a little smoother, and less bulkier, or at least how it feels..almost like they are trying to copy Google Chrome.

After a few times of using it, I returned to Firefox and forgot about the whole thing.

i HATED it!!!! haven't tried it on my new laptop yet, tho, and don't intend to! it locked up my old laptop (old in both ways) so bad i went ahead and got a new laptop two months sooner than i intended to......you can try it, but after upgrading, download and save the IE version you are using now to your desktop to keep on hand in case you decide that you don't like it....
