IE8 - Less than "Great"

Great things certainly weren't expected from the recent release of Internet Explorer 8 BETA and boy we weren't disappointed!

Another pathetic attempt by Microsoft to create a browser to rival Firefox or Opera, and they have failed miserably again!

The best bit is that IE8 actually crashes whenever a Google-based application tries to run in the browser!! Even a simple plug-in like Google Maps on a Contact Us page causes the browser to shut-down, it's such a pathetic and virtually immature way to stop users from using your main competitor.

Everyone in our office is just waiting for Google to release an operating system so that we can be done with ALL Microsoft applications forever! (Hands up anyone who has managed to run Microsoft Windows XP or Vista successfully without it ever crashing??)

To further highlight Microsofts incompetancies, I tried to access Microsoft Ad Center (where you give them money to advertise on their search platforms) and found that I couldn't view certain parts of the system with Internet Explorer (that's Microsofts own browser!) and resorted to using Firefox, which worked perfectly!

Do us all a favour Microsoft and start paying attention!!
