I'm guessing internet explorer 8 is out of beta?

Windows Explore is what you use to browse files on your computer. Your talking about Internet Explore right?

[TerryRussell]

He has to be. There is no such thing as Windows Exlorer 8.

IE 8 is in beta. "Bloatware" might be a better description.

Just saw a docu on Discovery the other night about the browser-wars of yore..
Microsoft really did a job on Netscape, made me kind of glad I've got Firefox..

Does the 'Bloatware' have any redeeming features Terry?

Mike

Yes. For me, the best ones are:

• It's not Firefox (they try to claim it's more secure, but all that I see shows to me that there are even more security issues than IE with less willingness to admit to them and fix them)
• It's not Chrome (which is even more bloated and has a huge number of bugs)

Otherwise, I think IE 7 is fine. At the moment, I don't see any compelling reason to switch from 7 to 8.

What about Opera?

[Capt.Bluebeard]

What about Opera?

Opera is a god browser, and it's Norwegian
http://www.opera.com try it your will be surprised and it's free

[TerryRussell]

What about Opera?

Yes, glad to confirm that Opera is not Firefox, either. I've always liked Opera, as I think of it as Netscape wearing different underpants.

[Person264]

What a nice thought
P.S. I use Opera sometimes, has a nice "speed dial" i think. can be very quite useful

[Goldens2]

I use Safari myself, as I use a mac. I don't particularly like Firefox for the mac. Never tried Opera, though.
