Did Microsoft finally get IE right? Time will tell.
I installed IE 8 on my test computer which is using a nearly pristine version of Vista Home Premium. The computer is less than two months old and so far I am only using it to test stuff (no betas yet).
I attempted to import my bookmarks from Firefox (a nice improvement) and then I got the same old thing, 'not responding'. I closed IE and reopened it and found to my surprise that the bookmarks did import.
So I looked to see if the humongeous security hole was gone, but nope, it's still there! (ActiveX)
Until ActiveX is removed from IE, it will never be my default browser.
When I get a new computer with Windows 7, I will get two other browsers, Firefox and Opera and then I will disable Internet Explorer! (I hope they keep this option in the final release!)
