    I find the performance much better in IE8 (compared to IE7).

    Much faster then IE7, but I only gave it a brief testing. Working on Firefox Beta 3 atm.

    93/100 for the Acid3 test.

    For me, starts up quicker than IE7. Thats about it.
    Page viewing problems. Streaming video and music problems - problems!
    Watcging something like live news from SKY or RTE from their news site - problems!
    Trying listening to radio over the broadband with IE8 - problems!

    Opera, Firefox works fine doing the above
    IE8? - thanks but no thanks.
