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.
