IE8 Released As Critical Update For XP

Binestar was one of several readers writing in to note that Microsoft is listing IE8 as a critical update to Windows XP. CNet reported a couple of weeks back that Microsoft would be rolling our IE8 to users in a gradual fashion, and requiring an opt-in before installing it. Opinion has been split as to whether IE8 is worth installing or not. Binestar notes delicately, "For those not interested in upgrading to IE8 at this time, the MSDN released information back in January on how to keep IE8 off your machine."

    "XYZ....KKZHdoikhal;kwjer," back to you.
    What's your point, besides wasting time and bandwidth?
    'Pissed in my Cheerios?**' Hah!

    At least post something useful, if you are going to bother.

    a) n/t: 'non-topic
    b) n/t: 'non-transformer'
    c) n/t: 'no text'
    d) n/t: 'no testosterone'(no balls)
    e) n/t: 'non-Turing'
    f) n/t: 'non Transvestite
    g) n/t: 'Next Trash' for the Dumpster/Shredder-all of the above

    I choose 'd', 'no testosterone/testicles'
    **BTW, no one 'pissed' in my 'Cheerios', as I don't eat them...rather impossible unless you like milk-sopped cardboard, actually. But 'go ahead'(or 'goat-head') as you are inclined.

    n/t is a stupid TV show(Nip/Tuck)

    Oh!, I get it!- Nip-Tuck, and you fancy yourself as a Plastic Surgeon! ...Indeed...

    You are making a lame attempt to display your perceived superiority!!!
    I see....Ho...Hum...*snores* as I fall asleep with boredom due to an overload of 'Inane' B.S. and your
    'Delusional, self perceived Superiority.'*
    n/t: 'non Truthful'
    n/t: 'non trustworthy'
    n/t: 'not tactful'
    n/t: 'non-topic'
    n/t: non-toxic...???
    I see now. It is 'n/t' indeed, and you are irrelevant...I see!
    Fall into the 'buzzword 2.0' mind set as you will. Only your brain will rot...not mine. Knock yourself out...Have your temporary fun. Check your Cheerios and Wheaties for n/t before consumption for your own good health.

    Have I pissed you off yet?
    If not, let me know***. I can do much better, but you did not seem worth the effort for me to try harder than I did out of shear boredom this time.

    ***Note: you will need at least a + 6 to register on my 'RADAR' from now on, so you may encounter difficulty getting through the 'dumbass' filters. :-)

    Oh, the old "forced upgrade" to make sure the system runs nice and slow compared to the next horrible operating system. It also ensures that some fresh new "bugs" will be found just as the product's end of life is reached.

    Need to keep herding your sheep along to the next version..

    Yes. For years now people have wanted to rotate the calculator at a 45 degree angle. KDE 4 gives them the power to do just that. The KDE dev team: True leaders of vision.
