Re: IE 8

Hello Cindy and all!
I just upgraded to IE8 yesterday, and as a self-proclaimed and proud computer geek, I've put it through its paces. :-) I was hesitant to upgrade because of what I had previously heard regarding accessibility issues. So far, however, everything seems to be extremely accessible. I'm able to open web pages, access the menus, work with my favorites, change settings, etc. Having now tried it, I don't have any reservations about advising someone to upgrade to IE8, provided that they're running jaws 9 or above. I hope that helps.

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.
