It's a good thing that no one is on XP any more ;-)
Word to the wise: Installing IE 8 on Windows XP is a huge test of patience. After downloading the installer, you'll be asked to verify Windows through Windows Genuine Advantage, then install additional components and numerous updates, then reboot, then check for malicious software, then install more updates, then reboot again. The whole time, you're never shown a progress bar, told where you are in the process or given any indication of how much longer the installation might take. Expect the full installation to take as long as 30 painful minutes.
Firefox: installs in less than a minute -- even on Windows XP :-)
Seriously, does anyone think that getting an upgraded browser should take 30 minutes and several reboots? WTF?
Oh, and what the F is up with all these Chrome ads. For several of months now, I can't find a tech site that isn't running Chrome ads. Pretty much every single article I read about IE 8 was accompanied by a Chrome ad. Crazy times.
(I wonder if the Chrome team is happy with the return on those ads. I mean, it's been more than six months since their release and they're still hovering just barely above 1%.)
