Hi,
Recently, I just installed IE8 and I found it very difficult to use and almost website I go it just either took too long to open the webpage or simple cant open the website at all. Unlike IE7 I can open any website easily.
Just to check anyone got this problems with IE8? By the way, how do I revert back to IE7 because I found IE8 very troublesome to use taking too long to open a webpage or cant open at all.
Would appreciate if someone has a solution to it or guide me how to revert back to IE7.
Your urgent reply would be very much appreciate.

personally dude i wouldn't use either. IE has so many security flaws in it, especially with ActiveX. switch over to Mozilla Firefox. Its easy to use, and is much much much more secure. When you install it firefox will transfer all your bookmarks for you as well.

Firefox does not work with some webpages (including one I need for work). IE7 was a better browser than IE8 is...but that is mostly because IE8 is new and still has lots of bugs, while IE7 is old and has a few of the bugs fixed. It was not long ago that this thread would have been "compairson of IE7 and IE6"

This should help: http://www.tech-recipes.com/rx/2817/how_to_uninstall_ie8/ You may need to check show update's in add and remove for XP (at the top).

IE8 seems to be designed with Windows 7 in mind. It caused lots of problems with Vista64, but works perfectly in Windows 7.

argument or not, firefox is better than IE in so many ways its ridiculous...why people still use IE is beyond me.

If its sheer speed your looking at Peacekeeper by FutureMark bench's them. Obviously speed isn't everything (Safari 4's the fastest but has an appalling interface).

IE 8 should be a MANDATORY update for all windows machines across the globe.
But MS seems to not give a flying f* for developers anyway.
