I have the same issue for the patches link in IE8 - empty search results table and the spinner thing going in the top RH corner. The other issues I had in IE8, unable to view articles in the Knowledge Browser and problems with viewing SR's all seem to be resolved now. Having said that, I hit the 'feedback' link in MOS a couple of times last week about the issues I was having unable to read articles. I got a nice automated email late Thursday to let me know they had raised it as an SR, with a URL to enable me to view progress online.....(can you see where this is going yet?) Come Friday, the link in the URL was broken and the SR does not show up in my MOS... sigh....

After spending ages filing the patch search criteria, it simply throws up a box with dozens empty lines and the annoying little spinner thing carries on twirling along while I get more frustrated! Ha ha! I tried the HTML only one, but the Patches link seems to be a dead-end.
