In my case, I had problems loading certain web pages with IE 8. For
instance, whenever I tried to load the Radio Shack home page, an error
dialog would pop up with a message that IE had encountered a problem and
needed to close. This happened in normal mode as well as compatibility
mode. Activating the Okay button in this dialog caused IE to close and
reopen on my default home page. I never had this problem with IE 7 or
Firefox. Also, embedded Real Player audio would not play in IE 8. Again,
no problem with IE 7. I reported the Real Player issue to MS last September
when I was beta testing IE 8, but they basically shrugged it off and never
bothered to address it. The editor of Talking Computers magazine, an audio
podcast magazine for blind computer users is quite upset over the Real
Player issue, because their web site relies on embedded Real Player audio to
access the various menu options. So I'll wait awhile before trying IE 8
again.

It would really be helpful if those of you who have switched back to 7
would
explain why you did this. Just saying IE 8 has some issues which made it
not quite ready for prime-time, isn't really helpful.
