Should you be installing IE8? I have answered this previously and my feelings have not changed and this is because Windows 7 comes with IE8, you simply don't have to use it and can do a pretty good job of turning it off, but it is better to have it installed and not being used then leaving the older IE7 (or IE6 yikes!)=
Here is where you can get it directly.

Starting from IE7, and similar in IE8, installation of Internet Explorer 8 no longer requires WGA genuine Windows validatoon. Microsoft also provides a few documents for end users, developers, IT professionals, businesses and enterprises to make better use of IE8.
