There are still issues with IE 8. Depending on which add-ons are installed,
it may not load certain web pages. Some users have reported that it is
slower than IE 7, while others claim it's actually faster. And embedded
Real Player audio may not play. And the Insert-A JAWS command to read the
address bar doesn't work. But if you can live with these annoyances, go
ahead and download it. If you encounter problems, you can easily revert to
IE 7 like I did

Subject: [Blind-Computing] internet explorer 8
Hey group.
John Justice here.
Windows keeps bugging me about downloading Internet Explorer 8. I have a
couple of questions about that.
1. Are there still problems with that version working with Jaws 10?
2. Are there any notable problems with Explorer 8 that I should be aware
of before loading it?
3. Is it really that much better than Explorer 7?
Before I go that route and then have to delete the program and start all
over again with 7, I'd like to avoid any possible difficulties.
I have seen some people with issues on this list with Version 8.
But then, we have had some Jaws 10 updates. What's the scoop, fellow
blind computer users?
