    I am thinking of downloading IE8 and was wondering if anyone can tell me what changes/upgrades I can expect to see. I have the Vaio Fw-390 with the FullHD 1080p screen and all the goodies. The only knock on my notebook is that the font and text is a bit small.

    Just a little question:
    Why would you expect any fundamental changes from a different internet browser?

    In the end IE8 is just a step forward from IE7 - more secure and faster.

    Else its pretty much the same.
