IE8 woes
On my machine, IE8 won't open a link to a page in a new window or new tab, even in compatibility mode and even though IE indicated that the popup was allowed.
Also, in Windows Explorer, even though I've set 'organize -- folder options' to open folders in the same window, it's opening them in new windows, unless I right click on a folder icon and pick 'explore.'
Worse still, I just went to my web mail and it crashed. I was then invited by IE to restore the previous session and a never-ending stream of new windows opened. I had to hard reset by pulling the mains plug.
IE8 is yet another beta product released too early. It's pants as yet.
