IE8 is actually very good, standards compliant, fast and stable. In fact I would say it is a better browser than Firefox 3.5.X.

Of course on pages like your's which have IE7 and IE6 compatibility hacks and run in IE7 compatibility mode it still looks like crap but that isn't really the browser's fault. Anyway, I am required to use IE8, Firefox, Chrome and Safari on a daily basis. The webkit engine is nice. Just a shame that the browsers implementing it have crappy interfaces and don't use my Operating System's features properly.

firefox all the way................................

What is this "IE" that you talk of? I guess its the same thing as the "internet explorer" you mentioned?

Ohhhh yea, I remember now. Years ago people actually used internet explorer to view webpages. That was before Firefox came out. Those were some wild days back then, with malware infections, browser crashing all the time, drive by infects, activeX exploits,,, I am so glad people do not use ie anymore. Its kinda like lead in the drinking water.

internet explorer just seems so "ancient" to say the least. Talking about it makes me think of the horse and buggy days. How did people do anything back then? And with the malware/spyware infections, how did people ever use internet explorer?

Thankfully, just like someone invented the car, and got us out of horse and buggy days, developers gave us FireFox.
