Hi Judith, Well, I have heard positive and negative comments on IE8. My opinion is that you should stick with what you are using now (IE6, IE7 ?) if you are satisfied with your browsing experience or simply use Firefox... this is my choice, speaking from a Web Design point of view, as Firefox is much more supportive of Web Design Standards, which means, to you as a user, that Web Pages will look better and act as the designer intended. That said, Microsoft has put out a detailed procedure on how to uninstall IE8 and revert back to IE6 or IE7... but you never quite know if you are getting back to EXACTLY what you started with, if you know what I mean !!! So, you could install it and, if you don't like what you see, remove it and reinstall IE6 or IE7. How do I uninstall or remove Internet Explorer 8? http://support.microsoft.com/kb/957700 Final Point... if you want to stay the way you are and just stop the annoying request to update to IE8, you can follow these instructions... again, from Microsoft !
