Now that the final release is out, I would like to know what everyone thinks regarding Internet Explorer 8. :)

I found it very excellent and far more stable than Internet Explorer 7, no more crashes. :)

Haven't had one crash in two weeks on two systems and it is much faster than IE7 so two thumbs up here.

Have there been any updates for it? Mine crashed so much I uninstalled it - usually I can ignore things like that; but its too frequent.

works great, haven't had a single crash here either. Definitely seems faster than both IE7 and Firefox on my fairly newish pc.

Definitely an improvement over IE7 for my work purposes (proper search functionality with highlighting, at last), and the accelerators are a nice touch.

I actually use both IE (for work-related stuff) and FF (for other things, including this forum ;)), which helps keep favorites, etc. clean. One thing I miss in IE is the ability to click and drag links (or even plain text addresses) directly to the tab bar to open new tabs.

Not too bad, especially for IE standards.

I voted very good, its better than previous IE's and just about on par with FF3. I would have given it excellent if i used it for my primary browser but for some reason (habit i guess) i still use firefox 3 more.

Good. I've had a few problems, but I use Chrome mainly now.
