Hello, Nelson, I would encourage you and anybody else to upgrade to Internet 
Explorer 8 from both the perspective of a Web browser user and a software 
engineer who develops for the browser platform on a daily basis.  Internet 
Explorer 8 supports a much broader range of standards compliant (i.e. W3C) 
specifications, as well as improved implementations of things like CSS 
technology and JavaScript that are so important to today's Web.  Also, 
internet Explorer 8 provides much improved support for ARIA (Accessible Rich 
Internet Application) technology which permits screen reader technologies 
like JAWS to access the most interactive appplications being developed for 
the Web today.  In summary, go for the upgrade as it is a vastly improved 
application when compared against its Microsoft Internet Explorer 
predecessors!

Kind regards,
Jeff
