Internet Explorer (IE) 8 Beta 1 - Do Not Try It
Written on May 15, 2008 – 9:47 pm | by Keith Neo
Just a piece of simple advice for all Internet Explorer users. Don’t ever attempt to upgrade Internet Explorer (IE) 8 Beta 1, it is still currently in the utmost unstable and unfriendly mode.
It does not take long for me to find out that several things are broken within Windows XP, after installing IE 8. I guess one of the most obvious, and vital component, is the Windows Update feature. The link is completely useless as Microsoft itself does not even recognise the existence of their own product.
Other aspects of this poor release is the page rendering. In some websites, I noticed that the characters and images are overlapping each other. This, however, does not happen in IE 7 or Firefox 2.
This simply shows that there are a lot of issues to be resolved before IE 8 can make it firm foothold on the browser market.
