I personally hate Comcast and, though I am one of its 25 million subscribers, I am certainly not satisfied. When I moved two months ago, I told customer service that I wanted to keep my service as it was at my condo (while I slowly moved my stuff) and wanted to set up new service at my new home. Fine they said. A week later the moron tech showed up (late of course) and managed to not bring either a cable box or the equipment for my Internet connection. He claimed it wasn't on his sheet at the warehouse--give me a break. After much hemming and hawing he said he'd be back--this time he came back with half the equipment and a promise to finish later in the day. When all was said and done, he managed to cut off my internet service at my condo and messed up both the internet and cable at my home so nothing worked. Three days later (and countless hours on the phone to customer service) another tech came out and fixed it all. Way to go Comcast!

pretty good overview on IE8 here

Some interesting comments from Bruce Schneier and Marcus Ranum (and Microsoft too) on the debate. http://www2.csoonline.com/exclusives/column.html?C ID=28088
