Microsoft Released “Report a Webpage Problem” Add-On for Internet Explorer 8

Windows Internet Explorer 8 final version has been released and is available to download, also it'll be available via Windows Update very soon.

If you are using IE8, then you should use this new add-on to help Microsoft making IE8 better:

"Report a Webpage Problem" is a new add-on for IE8 which allows users to submit a report to Microsoft for webpages they believe are having rendering problems, scripting errors, or various other types of problems.

It appears as a toolbar button and a "Report a Webpage Problem..." item on the Tools menu.

When the toolbar button is clicked or the menu item is chosen, the control takes a screenshot of the web page currently being viewed. A new tab is then opened containing a report submission form. A scaled down version of the screenshot will be visible at the bottom, and the user has a choice of whether or not to include the full-sized screenshot (choosing No to the "Include Screenshot?" question means no screenshot will be sent).

On the report submission page, the user also has the option to select a category best representing their observed problem. This category selection will be part of the report information returned to Microsoft.

A 1000 character limit comment field is provided, if the user chooses to include some description of the problem.

Additional data included in the report:

The protocol type (http, res, file, etc.) of the URL being reported.
The complete URL.
A numerical value representing the Document mode.
For more information about what data is sent and how it is used, see the Privacy Statement.

The IE8 browser on Windows 7 7057 is wickedly fast, my gawd. Whatever they did to it, they did it well. Amazing

it;s very snappy and doesn't lock up like before

I downloaded IE8 on all the updates for it on Win XP and have had nothing but problems with it. It's the slower than a turtle.
