Is IE 8 ready for download

I have a one year old Dell XPS 420 with Vista Ultimate. A friend told me to
wait until all the kinks are worked out before I download IE8. Is it easy
and safe to download without causing all kinds of problems?

Install it. If you don't like it or have problems you can uninstall it.

Maybe. But does not sound pretty.

Might be better to hold off and let someone else experiment.

Can you tell me how to do that? Thanks.

JEWboy is a troll. Pay no attention to his "advice."

Why would I want to download IE from anywhere else but Microsoft update?

Besides, why I would even WANT IE8?

I only use IE because Netflix won't use Firefox.
