Download Internet Explorer 8 and feed the poor

IE8 is actually a pretty good browser, esp from a web developer's perspective. Microsoft made a move to begin following significantly more web standards in IE8. They also built in helpful developer tools.
Interestingly, Microsoft made such drastic moves to adhere to web standards that some sites designed for IE 6 or 7, may actually look terrible in IE8, but Microsoft provided an easy fix for that by simply adding one line of code to your site, or the users can click a button that basically tells IE8 to run like the old non-standards following IE7.

Wow....Talk about trying to "guilt trip" you into using their product. Is there nothing sacred to microsoft save their bottom line? Firefox for me, I can not in good conscience support a company like this...They lost me with vista and the withholding of DX10, this just reinforces that feeling...

ED, I understand your feeling. I do not have pretty high opinion about Microsoft either. But if by downloading this piece of compiled software, some KID is going to get food, hell, yes, I'll do it... for that hungry kid...

Thats pretty impressive. Sometimes I feel that in peoples dislike of some of Microsofts practices they forget about all the good they do as well.

Also I feel IE 8 is pretty good. It is a definate improvement over previous versions and is closing the gap between the browsers.

I'm willing to spend a few minutes downloading it (for a good cause), but I'll eat my keyboard letter by letter before I install it.

I downloaded it for the sake of the kids, tried to see if I could install it through wine out of curiosity (install failed), and then deleted the installer.

I have briefly tried it on a windows machine however, and must say it's not complete garbage like its predecessors. I attribute most of this newfound approval to the improvement in web standards compatibility, good job team Trident.

while I've had my issues with Microsoft over the years I am more than happy to download their browser for a great cause.

I'm actually impressed with IE8, it is the best version of IE ever. MS is following web standards more than in the past. As designers and developers we need to stay focused in the "now" and develop for what we have, and stop looking back to what MS has done in the past.

Oh and Ed, I don't believe its a "guilt trip" do you really think it is? I see it for what it is, marketing, and in the process some deserving people receive meals.

Considering we have to test our web sites in the top browsers anyway, I think downloading the browser for a good cause is cool, and I'm all for it. I don't think MS is in a board room with the lights turned down yelling about "your meddling with primal forces..." like the movie "Network" acting supreme, and evil. Greedy, yes, but not evil. All corporations care about is their bottom line, and if some charity is helped lets focus on that positive.

He says the "Marketing campaign" stole his heart. I just shed a tear.

It´s probably one of the most impressive marketing campaigns I've ever heard of. One has to think twice before choosing between IE 8 and Firefox.

i will not download it – even for the cause. If they had any honor, MS would just outright donate the money without counting the downloads. They do this just to say "we have more browser users than..." Don't add to the count! Donate your own money to a local, real, deserving charity or if you don't have the money, donate your time. So now you know, then MS says they have the most users, you can subtract all these people who say they downloaded, but didn't install...

I tried IE8 and it was DRAGGING on my XP Pro machine. Everything took forever, so I switched back to IE7 and I'm not inclined to try it again. But they only say you have to *download* IE8. Does the fine print say anything about actually installing or using it? 🙂

If it will suck more cash out of Microsoft's pocket, why not?

Maybe there should be some "robots" programmed to continually download the IE8 install file to run-up the tally and make the charity bill bigger.

Hi, this is Feran with the Internet Explorer Outreach Team. Just to clarify for anyone who want to download to donate it does need to be downloaded as well as installed from the Browser for the Better site.

Thanks,
Feran

As a web developer of 15 years I can definitively state that IE8 is no where near as good a browser as Firefox, Chrome or Safari. Its actually quite bad (IE6 and 7 are horrible so comparing to those means nothing). When technological innovation doesn't get the job done pull out the wallet.

I also downloaded IE8. Do not really like it. Can I safely delete it without losing any of my other programs and go back to IE7. Is it an easy switch?

Internet Explorer 8 is very good because it is as stable as Opera. I hate the previous versions of IE like IE6 because it hangs frequently. ~

the best thing about IE8 is that it is quite stable than previous releases of Internet Explorer:.`

Internet Explorer 8 is the last version of Internet Explorer to be supported on Windows XP and Windows Server 2003; the next version, Internet Explorer 9, is supported only on Windows Vista, Windows Server 2008 R2, and Windows 7 operating systems.'*..:
