Internet Explorer 8 Crashes on first boot- par for the course
I just updated my XP machine with IE8. Keep in mind I freshly wiped and installed XP and ran updates as needed. No funky software yet. As I usually do, I emotionally prepare for these updates with a fresh burrito from Chipotle and begin the soon-to-be-error-prone process of upgrading.
Though I hesitate to install IE8, I push past my initial mental roadblock and click through the dialog boxes. After the reboot, I launch the new and improved IE8, and accept the default settings so I can start browsing. I click Tools, then Windows Update, to make sure I am fully patched, and the browser crashes as soon as it reaches the Windows Update website. I know some of you see me really beat up Microsoft on my blog, and honestly, this is why.
