Marik Posted March 23, 2009 Share Posted March 23, 2009 Microsoft's final release of Internet Explorer 8 may not be so final as unhappy users flood IE8's feedback pages with complaints. While Microsoft says it fixed problems found by Internet Explorer beta testers, the final release of IE8 isn't giving users a good experience. One poster did like IE8 -- and said it felt like competitor Firefox. Internet Explorer 8 was released at noon on Thursday and users have already flooded the pages of Microsoft’s feedback pages with complaints. It hasn’t done too hot with Pwn2Own and got hacked easily. Although many problems were supposed to be resolved during the beta testing phase, it still seems that there are multiple issues affecting the web browser.Top complaints include problems printing from websites, search function malfunctions, and misplaced images. Many users have said that their search bar doesn’t work and have appeared blank. Additionally, a bug has appeared to cause an issue with dragging photos in IE onto Facebook pages. Boot up times have also been reported as slow as well as taking up an extra 4GB of hard drive storage space.Microsoft has contended that they have fixed the most significant issues in beta based on priority by community voting. Upgrades to IE 8 include several bars that you can use to manage the sites that you navigate on the web. A favorites bar, tab bar, and address bar have all been added with the upgrade. You can manually download IE 8 from Microsoft’s download page. Source: TopTechNews Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

irefay Posted March 23, 2009 Share Posted March 23, 2009 I would have to use it to complain about it. Im currently on FF 3.5 beta4 pre. Other than the slow development of compatible extensions... I haven't found a single problem with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
