Back to IE7...
Me too. I wanted to like IE8 and installed it right after release. But a month later I was frustrated at all of the performance issues. Back to IE7. I'm satisfied. At least until MS turns IE7 off and forces me to upgrade.

One other note, despite the fact that I refused IE8 under MS Update, it downloaded the 18 MB update anyway. It sits now on my computer, me unable to erase it. I suppose it will sit there until some signal from the MotherShip decides that it should install without my permission.
