I like it, it's (MUCH MUCH) faster and less crashy than IE7. It also opens
several threads in task manager, so if one's getting a bit on the large
side, you can close that thread. Given the opportunity, it'll still use over
a gigabyte of RAM, but you can close that leaky thread and open it again.
It's a vast improvement on 7.

However... Lots of pages still don't work with IE8 yet, so you have to run
them in "compatibility" mode, which works fine, unless you use ad-blocking
software such as Ad-Block Pro. Pages won't display, and the ad-blocker just
doesn't work properly. I've had to disable it, and am waiting for them to
release a compatibile version.

Hi all

Any feedback on IE8? Should I or shouldn't I?
