Advantages: None obvious

Disadvantages: Not compatible with many sites without button

OK fair enough it's yet another version of Internet Explorer.
Not exactly the sort of development that will set the world, wired or other wise alight.

Was there that much wrong with IE 7? Well not for most of the tens of millions of users. Can't really say that I have noticed much change, probably a few more IE freezes than before and the addition of a "compatability" view button. You need to use this button to get lots of sites to look right - so basically IE8 does not display many existing web pages properly, and this is meant to be progress. Meanwhile millions of sites will have to be revamped to support the new standard.

Inevitably this will become the new default browser for the vast majority of internet users (myself included) and it's "free," - but there is just no real need to rush to do the upgrade yet.
