I always use IE to access the net, it's asking me if I want to install IE8 - will it make everything look and work differently, or is it just the same only better?! Am I going to be cursing or cheering? Can anyone advise me please? :-))
Thanks

It should look much the same, or have the option to make it look the same. Most program updates do, and so far IE has too.

I have not installed it because there were several people on here who seemed to have problems with it. However they may have ironed the problems out now so you can only try.

I have had it a while now and not had any real problems with it ... and it doesn't look much different to IE7 :) just a few small changes if I remember right ... forgotten what 7 was like now LOL
