FireFox Overtakes Internet Explorer and my Frustration with IE8

Sometimes I think my frustration with Microsoft is irrational just my jealousy of their success blah blah and then they come along and remind me why.

Anyway to qualify FF3 has overtaken IE7 in Europe, but of course IE still leads all versions. This is mostly because although all the savvy users have FF there are millions of Mom and Pop users who simply use the pre-installed browser on their PC.

Anyway I updated to the latest IE8 beta as I need to see sites I create in IE as well. Anyway IE8 simply refuses to see the Internet although it was OK at first. I tried to downgrade but it wont let me, I cant be fagged to uninstall this time I may just say goodbye IE it wasn't nice knowing you (I've got it on other PCs if need be)
