Crash, crash, crash

Microsoft is shipping Internet Explorer 8 and I installed it yesterday. It’s not ready for prime time unless you are ready for grief. Along with installing their favourite bookmarks over mine, it just doesn’t work. This morning copy and paste stopped working. I wasted 30 minutes trying to figure that out. IE has several bits of animation that would be great for your parents who don’t own a computer yet, if there are anyone’s parents like that. It gets in the way.
Update: Since IE is the standard program IE8 keeps popping up then crashing with “Data Execution Prevention” errors. Glad to know my Vista 64 bit needed help because it’s been extremely stable until IE8. Right.
I’ve back using Mozilla Firefox which also updated this week and works fine.
