Got it, installed it, seems ok. Definately faster that IE7 but I'll stick with Firefox.

Boot time decreased a fair bit, hdd activity on system load decreased :)

browsing wise, not the big difference in IE8 tbh :)

I'm still running ie6 on all my machines.

I prefer the format to ie7/8 but my main browser is still firefox.

I only use ie6 for windows update :D

You're slowing down the web by clinging on to an obsolete browser mate ;)

Adblock plus, script sentry and foxmarks are now absolute must haves for me. Assuming IE8 doesn't offer these features it's going to be a bit of a non starter. Such is the power of firefox extensions :)

Whatever's gone wrong it's not my fault.

My v3.0.7 of FF (with AdBlock) scores 71.

What browser, if any, scores top marks then?

I think Opera/Konqueror (current release) scores the highest 85/100

Preview Releases
Opera 10.0 Alpha 1 gets - 100/100
Safari 4 Beta - 100/100
Google Chrome 2.0.170.0 - 100/100
