going to add what is important
to me install uninstall.
After the download I "Choose
my settings" (default basic)
so that I can add newer features
at a later time. This will sometimes
make installing a newer program smoother
and hopefully avoid some possible nag screens
just after the install.
If your using IE 7 the interface will be about
the same as 8. Which is great as I can install
it quickly and start surfing.
My surprise:
IE 8 was removed through Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs, IE 8 didn't need a file/disk or put up a fight when I uninstalled it.
Still have IE 8 installed on another computer. This computer I'm writing this review on has several 3rd party (paid - licensed)
programs "Web Research" (for indexing/editing online files) and
"Snag It" (to show others what I see) they wouldn't work. That was the biggest disappointment as I need both of those programs
to for work and would need to purchase a newer updated versions.
That's how I know the uninstall work so well.
If you have 3rd party browser tool that works with previous versions of Internet Explore and wish to continue using them, before installing IE 8 would check
the with developers to see if they are compatible.
I would be willing to make the purchase on MS OS 7 with IE 8 but not
just for a browser update.
Overall I found 8 to be stable in the weeks I've been using it hasn't crashed more that a couple times, easy to use when surfing and the speed about the
same, maybe a little better than IE7.
Tested on Dell XPS 420 XP SP3 Home and Dell XPS 630 XP SP3 Professional
