    Default Internet Explorer 8 - worth the upgrade?

    IE8's been showing up in my Windows updates for the last week or so. Anyone able to tell me what the differences between it and 7 are, and whether or not the upgrade is worth it?

    I suggest you have a read and make up your own mind.

    I've just upgraded to IE8 on my PC. So far so good, in as much as it isn't all that different to IE7 except there is a Favourites bar at the top of your web page which you can personalise. Oh, and it is supposed to have an Anti-Malware programme running all the time as an add on.

    We will be phasing out support for your browser soon.
    Please upgrade to one of these more modern browsers.
    I keep getting this message on YouTube, so i suppose i'll have to upgrade to IE8 soon.
    It only seems 5mins since i moved from 6 to 7!
