Internet Explorer 8 is now available-but do you really want it?

Anyone that knows me will also know I am not a fan of the Internet Explorer web browser but if you have to have this browser running on your windows machine then I suggest you download it and install it. (Note: The new Windows 7 operating system gives you the opportunity to uninstall the IE browser as I mentioned in this previous post) Once you have it installed, it will automatically become the default browser. Once you have run it once and it sets itself up as the default, simply close it and open your normal web browser you use, which should be either the AVANT BROWSER, FIREFOX, or CHROME.

I am saying it is a good idea to install the latest IE8 simply because it is more secure than the older versions of the Internet Explorer. This is key, especially when some programs installed on your computer that utilize the internet, automatically open the internet explorer (ie.exe) and so, when this happens, you can rest easy knowing you are not opening the older, less-safe versions of the Internet Explorer.

I forgot to mention, this install of the IE8 browser is only available for Vista and Windows Server operating systems (right now). So if you are still running Windows XP you will have to hold on until the new Windows 7 O/S is released at which time you are going to want to get the upgrade since the new Windows 7 rocks!
