When Microsoft released Internet Explorer 8 (IE8) on Thursday, there were no immediate outcries over missed show-stopper bugs or jammed download servers. Indeed, the first day and a half of IE8's public availability seems to have gone exceptionally smoothly. Still, at least several hundred users have sought help on Microsoft's community forums for what are mostly buggy annoyances with the new browser.
Microsoft released the final version of IE8 on the second day of Microsoft's MIX09 conference in Las Vegas this week -- publishing a Web site where anyone can download it. Unlike many product releases, Microsoft's community forums where many users seek help from other users, were not littered with complaints typed in screaming capital letters or full of angry rhetoric, as they so often are.
In fact, all in all, considering the volume of IE8 units being downloaded, the rollout has been relatively uneventful so far. Additionally, instead of common forum posts with double-digit numbers of users checking in, few of the postings on Microsoft's community forums for IE8 have more than two or three posters.
