| | Internet Explorer 8. Time to change? I have held off switching to IE8 as I always understood it was better to let some of the kinks be sorted out first before going to something newer from Microsoft. Currently I use IE7 and Vista and am fairly happy with it despite the occasional blips. Should I change or leave alone? If I do change should I upgrade or completely clear out IE7 and if I don't care for the results can I switch back again? Thank you in advance. A.K. |

| | Re: Internet Explorer 8. Time to change? It is not recommended to clear out IE7 before upgrading to IE8. With the recent Microsoft update for IE8, I can recommend it now. It has better security than IE7. Uninstalling IE8 will automatically bring IE7 back: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/957700 -- Gary VanderMolen, MS-MVP (Mail) http://mvp.support.microsoft.com/profile/VanderMolen "Amos Keeto" <Amos Keeto@xxxxxx> wrote in message news:B1083A8D-22C3-4512-966D-4389C63E407E@xxxxxx Quote: >I have held off switching to IE8 as I always understood it was better to let > some of the kinks be sorted out first before going to something newer from > Microsoft. > Currently I use IE7 and Vista and am fairly happy with it despite the > occasional blips.
