I am still with IE 6.0

No harm in updating if you love new technology and don't have to pay for it, I would suppose.

PITA. Downloaded it and found that you had to keep changing compatibility mode for certain webpages. Especially this forum. Ditched it and stayed with IE7 :y

IE8 is quite good, but does make a mess of some sites (including this one if not in compatibility mode).

Run IE8 on desktop (as in runs Windows 7), but think I'll stick to most common browser (currently IE7) on lappy
