The Little Guy Posted January 24, 2009 Author Share Posted January 24, 2009 Why would this be spam? I don't spam, I am just informing everyone about the new IE8. But maybe I am behind, as in it is not new? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.josh Posted January 24, 2009 Share Posted January 24, 2009 You are promoting a product and providing a link to the site. Sure looks like spamming to me.... edit: err...I mean advertising, not spam. My bad. Kinda same thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Little Guy Posted January 24, 2009 Author Share Posted January 24, 2009 Wouldn't you be happy too if you didn't have to do as much work making your site look good in IE and FF? With IE8 my site renders 90+ percent the same as it does in Firefox, unlike IE7 where it was less than 90% (those percentages are guesstimates obviously).

Mchl Posted January 24, 2009 Share Posted January 24, 2009 Well. Just installed it. It still fails on my ExtJS-based GUI... No improvement here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nrg_alpha Posted January 24, 2009 Share Posted January 24, 2009 IE is certainly improving. I just got my XP laptop fixed (thus installed IE 8 Beta 2 and Chrome).. Nice to be able to test site pages in browsers other than Firefox or Opera (on my Win 2000 based PC) and not rely on browsershots. IE's performance still 'isn't there' yet however... I would love nothing more than to see IE either a) switch over to webkit, or b) die (neither is likely unfortunately). But so long as I have my Chrome, Firefox and Opera, it's all good.

corbin Posted January 25, 2009 Share Posted January 25, 2009 Were any of y'all unfortunate enough to come across IE8b1? It was worse than 7. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Little Guy Posted January 26, 2009 Author Share Posted January 26, 2009 Were any of y'all unfortunate enough to come across IE8b1? It was worse than 7. No... Did you try IE8b2? If IE8b1 was worse than 7, then I think this may be a step up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aeonsky Posted January 26, 2009 Share Posted January 26, 2009 I was kind of surprised Windows 7 came with IE8. I can definitely say its an improvement, pages render nicely and its faster too. And no random crashes! XD I still have to test if it passes the Acid tests. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
