I am using IE8 RC1.
I am having some freeze up and also have much trouble downloading programs. Otherwise I like the set up and other features of IE8

well i had java issues and a microsoft tech had me reset ie8 which i later discovered the man was a moron and doing the reset erased all of my autocomplete information. with the new autocomplete being just checkboxes it is hit and miss restoring my information.i figured out myself by trial and error it was an addon that was disabling java and i disabled it and now java works. i am having issues with ie8 telling me it can't open hotmail. than when hotmail does open when you try to open an email its frozen. there are times when it says it is crashed and it goes into the microft scanning dance and than you get the close this program and than it doesn't close. anyway rebooting vista helped ie8 and hotmail. oh yeah tabbed browsing. i discovered that some links will open in the main page and others open a new page. there is nothing to be done about that.

Ok. Now how do you remove IE8 RC1? I don't like it at all.

IE 8 RC 1 is horrible and shouldn't have been released in the first place. As a google mail user, and a wordpress design user it made my life a living hell. AVOID this one until MS figures out what it's doing. I removed it after three days and went back to IE 7. Keep Google and Firefox handy kids it's going to be a bumpy ride. If MS releases this as a completed program, AVOID IT!

I tried IE8 RC1 for a few weeks. All it did for me was, lockup or hang up whatever you want to call it, almost everytime I tried to open a second or third window while IE was open. Had to constantly reboot the computer, went back to IE7 and the problem went away.

Forced to use Firefox? I love firefox…much better then IE which freezes up as do many of the MS programs. Microsoft used to stand for innovation and greatness…now it just stands for let me see how aggravated I can make you as I freeze up then take you to a page that is supposed to tell you how to fix the problem…but it doesn't. I didn't upgrade IE the last time…because what's the use?

Shogan, "forced" to use Firefox? You say that like you don't enjoy using it. I enjoy using Firefox. I keep Opera on hand for emergencies. I'm not gutsy enough to start trying Google's Chrome yet, though I hear that's an IE alternative. I had stopped using IE after version 6. IE just isn't accessible, and now I hear its got the achy breakies.
