IE 7 is worse and I don't think it was ever released officially. If she has IE 6 then she should stick with that. Or get Firefox. |

IE works fine.
I've been using it on XP as well as Vista for the past seven months and haven't had any issues with it whatsoever.
Go ahead and have your neighbor update it.
Still not sure? Check it this browser comparison.
Worried about all the bad things that are circulating? Here's some IE8 mythbusting items.
Personally, I like the new accelerators and web slice features of IE8--not to mention the increase in speed with this upgrade!

Ah finally! An independent site giving their unbiassed opinion about IE8... ;-)
I loled at this: "Firefox and Chrome have more support for emerging standards like HTML5 and CSS3, but Internet Explorer 8 invested heavily in having world-class, consistent support for the entire CSS2.1 specification." |

me too, Chrome has by far the most useful user interface. when I have to do something with IE (eg. browse to Firefox and Chrome download pages after a fresh install of windows), i feel like trying to walk blindfolded with crutches. |

:) probably you wanted to write: "I especially loled at...", because every statement in that table is a shameless lie. For example under Compatibility they forgot to write that now they are not compatible anymore even with themselves (IE6 optimized pages are now not showing properly). And Ease of Use, lol, describing it with words I can't figure out what they mean... thanks a lot for that kind of ease. |

An emerging standard is useless. Full support for an existing standard is useful. |
