I only use IE to use Windows Update and to play online games on it.
I have IE8 standalone update downloaded, but it still need a few updated installed prior to its installation.
But I like its interface. I am surprised this thread came so late, as windows 7 already include two upgrades, IE 8 and Windows Media Player 12 included in it.
In my opinion IE 8 is quite good compared to other present browsers.
But personally I like Google Chrome as the best. But I use IE regularly just for 1 reason. I use my fingerprint to log on to websites and my Finger Print log on manager doesnt recognize Google Chrome.

Wow you trust google? Maybe you should read up on how Google generates revenue and lies to their customers. They aren't the worst company and there are some bad ass things about Google, but I wouldn't trust them.

I don't trust google either, they do some good stuff but I don't want them touching my data.
That said, I'm going to give IE8 a go, I'm using IE7 now because I can't stand firefox and IE7 was better than 6 so I'm hoping it follows the pattern

IE are you freaking serious? Do you like bloat and Active X? Don't get me started on crap like Crystal reports and other giant crappy database driven active x web apps.
Firefox for the win for me still.

I love most of Google's apps, but I agree with you, I don't want them storing or touching my data. Google Latitude is one with the most controversy IMO, but I don't use Gmail either as I don't want them reading my E-Mails to find what ads to display.I don't trust google either, they do some good stuff but I don't want them touching my data.

I agree, Firefox is what I prefer. For some of the web pages that don't work I use Safari, or in the worst case I use IE.

IE8 is actually quite nice. I have been trying it out. It is still not as good as Firefox but...

I tried it and went back to IE7 after about 30 minutes. While it's may be better in security terms I like the look and feel of IE7 better and I don't need the extra security. BTW I do have firefox isntalled and use it now and again but long live IE! Also tried Safari and Chrome and niether of them last 15 minutes on my computer.
