Want to install IE 8.....suggest

[Claudius]

hie friends,

I need the help from you guys....I am looking up to upgrade my web browser from IE 7 to its latest version IE 8. I have no idea about IE 8, what new features they have built in ? Are they impressive or not ? Can some of you suggest me whether I should go for the latest version(IE8) or the previous version(IE7) is fine ?

thanks in advance....

I wanted to let you know that the Internet Explorer 8 Beta that is bundled with Windows 7 is actually a different version than the latest edition of the browser (IE 8 RC1) that Vista and XP users can currently download.

The Internet Explorer included with Windows 7 is actually IE8 Beta 2 plus end user features that are only available on Windows 7, plus many fixes based on feedback the IE8 Development Team got from other IE8 Beta 2 usage. Eastender, are you having issues with a Vista or XP version of IE8, or the Windows 7 version?

There were many new and impressive features out when IE 7 was introduced. Internet Explorer 8 is similar to Internet Explorer 7 in most of these features. However, what's new in IE 8 as compared to IE 7 is that you can view any site with ease...Now you can quickly display websites that were designed for older browsers. If you’re looking at a page and the text or images aren’t lined up right, just use the new Compatibility View button next to the Refresh button on the Address Bar.

Both of them are good. However, if you have Windows 7 installed or are going to install in near future, then i suggest you for installing IE 8, otherwise IE 7 is fine...
