IE8 Public Beta

[MightyJordan]

Um, whoops? I'll check Add/Remove Programs when I get home. :blush:

[megamanXplosion]

Yeah, for some reason Microsoft added "Windows" to the front of the product name and that has thrown many people off.

[MightyJordan]

Um, I uninstalled it, and I ended up with the same problem when I System Restored. Damn you, XP SP3!!! :tantrum:

I never thought I'd have to do this again, but I'm going back to Opera until XP SP3/IE8 is in its final version.

well this is just brilliant......first time i open it i get this....

Anyone notice that if you do a search in Google,Live Search, and Yahoo from their search pages the search word(s) will show up in the search box in the top right corner. If you misspell a word and click the corrected link ("Do you mean: blablabla") the corrected word will also show up in the search box in IE8.

Yeah... I get that error too.... I don't know what's causing it... Does anyone know why that is happening...??

thanks!

I found one a problem with IE8. I'm sure the developer just got lazy, and decided to duplicate everything to show what could be potential.. but this doesn't classify as "more"

[Crazysah]

Hahaha. I noticed that too!

I just uninstalled IE8 in one of my computer, I have 3 and one of them was acting up whenever I got a particular site (ex: playstation.com, windows live mail, etc.,) it just shows black screen or IE just freeze.

I understand that it's beta but my other 2 computers it works just fine sometime I have to use the emulate ie7 to see the site.

Does anyone else having the same problem.

What, no Mac support :)

I would like to see an undo feature when you accidently close a tab. Where you could re open it to the last page it was on.

I like to see them do a intergrated one with msn application not the instanting messenger.

IE8 is horrible. It's just so slow and bulky, it's so annoying I hate it. I can't even "view image" or middle click the home button, and just the way everything goes down in IE8, and IE in general is painful. FF3 has been much more amazing so far IMO.

it's a beta for developers and not users, what do you expect? All their efforts right now are on the rendering engine and related components.

Yes. Thats right and it just shows that Microsoft are getting ready for fast development and want to try and get some feedback from whoever is willing to install it.

Huh?

I'm sure that's how it's intended to be. They don't want the "Find more activities" option in the main list, and if you're adding more activities, would that not be "more activities"? :huh:

Am I missing something here?

the left menu shows the default providers for each activity, the more menu would show ALL providers for ALL activities. Because you only have the defaults, thats all you see

Does anyone have issues viewing hotmail with IE8? All mine does is hang on "working on your request"

[Crazysah]

Mine does that most of the time too!

Automatic Crash Recovery (down to the tab level) is something that's in no browser currently (certainly not Firefox or IE, though both support tabbed browsing) unless (again) you're referring to a separate add-in/plug-in/extension for Firefox.

I know if opera crashes when I reload it it keeps the last state, same with maxthon which incidently is based on IE. I think the problem IE has it doesnt save the tab state until you close the browser which means if it crashes it loses the data. Opera and maxthon must be either saving the state at regular intervals or when a new tab is open/closed.
