IE8 is just like a joke , it's as stupid as latest versions of Netscape navigator , you'll have to options to browse the web , with support of web standards which will act like firefox 3 or safari , second option is without web standards which will act like IE7 , I don't know when will microsoft leave the browser area , I bet if it wasn't preinstallled on windows it's market share would be as low as Opera

Word is that MS will finally follow all standards in IE 8, that cannot be bad thing. Consumers really pushed Microsoft hard with non accepting everything Microsoft throws at them. I can only say keep up the good work and maybe soon Microsoft will start listening their consumers.

I personally like and use Mozilla Firefox and every page works just fine with it.

I wish you were in my shoes !!!!
in my country most of the pages just have been written IE compatible for example my university's website is a good example , it just opens with IE , and it's a very famous one btw .
maybe that's why world call us third world country
