Ew IE8. I prefered IE7 in terms of functionality and speed, but I much prefer IE9 when it comes to using MS browser. IE8 was so friggin slow and CPU intensive on my other computer. IE7 was much faster, although page rendering was even worse than IE8. IE9 does a decent job at rendering pages and I got a better computer, so now I don't mind it much, but I think I'll stick to Opera and Firefox. (I only use FF when a site doesn't work in Opera, which is more and more rare)
