IE 8 browser

Q.
Should I update to IE 8 now that its out of beta ?

A.
There's no doubt that IE 8 is a much better browser than IE 7. Nevertheless, it's still inferior to Firefox and other alternatives. As to whether you should upgrade to IE 8 now or later, my advice is to use Firefox instead of either version.
If you must use Internet Explorer, I suggest you wait at least a month — two months would be better — before upgrading to IE 8. If you're still using IE 6, however, install version 7 right away, for the sake of your security as well as for the added performance.
