I didn't find anything wrong with it. FYI, I tried every other browser in virtual machines quite often, and still couldn't find any real substitute for IE 8 for me. Not any browser, firefox, Chrome, Safari etc. provides enough manual configurations as I found in IE. I'm afaid IE 8 is the best customizable browser in market right now, and that's why I like it. Variation in browsers is welcome and maybe important, but for me it's not necessary. Well, at least to me, IE 8 is running great on all my family desktops and notebooks.

Well,I don't see it as cheating. First of all, IE8 is a great browser. It's the best IE up till today, and one of the best browsers available. All my computers are running IE8, and I'm feeling quite content with it. Bing is not doing that well as a matter of fact, but it's been doing better. For average users using IE8 as defaut browser, I don't really believe there is much need of a alternative in any way... I use all kind of Microsoft OSes on my computers and virtual labs, from my experience, I know it's very easy to set other service provider as the default for address typo search, i.e. I set Google serch as default search engine, so everything in search will be processed by Google. And setting is never that hard, which consumes just seveal clicks. Even a monkey knows how to do that. It will be stupid to force Microsoft to split. E.U. is crazy. They couldn't build much great stuff, but they know how to make money out of legistration. Intel and Microsoft are the sacrifices... THERE EXIST NO SENSE IN PROVIDING BROWSER ALTERNATIVES. So you don't spend any to help develop my OS, and when the OS is finished, you come to ask me to load your crap in my OS? WHAT A JOKE IT IS! I HATE OPERA! and I WILL NOT use it in any way. To those who support those mad decisions, please just leave this blog alone. I’m afraid I don’t agree with you so much.

Kinda like the 404 redirects to their search page. They make is difficult for the average user to choose alternatives when IE7 or IE8 are first run, leaving most with MS as the default search for mis-typed urls, etc... I call that CHEATING.

We lost any anti-trust functionality when the last administration "disabled" anti-trust. Instead of a Public Servant who would look out for the interests of the people, we got corporate servants who look out for the largest (and most contributing) corporations. They quickly un-did the punishment that was planned for Microsoft over their anti-trust case, leaving them the understanding that they could do whatever... Mattiasw is sooo correct.

Works perfectly. I cannot understand that Microsoft is allowed to do stupid things like this in order to compete with Google. Obviously, the anti-trust laws of US are not working. Thanks!
