Hi Bill,
yes I tried it although if your using IE 8 make sure you click the compatibility tab.
Funnily enough I'd signed in to post on this very subject..
I ran the benchmark, as you can see from my screen shot, but I'm a bit unsure about some of these results. I wonder if futuremark have been a little creative some how so that IE will be shown in the poorest possible way.
Don't get me wrong I don't think IE is best thing since sliced bread (my favourite browser would have to be Opera but i use IE out of ease) and there are some very good browsers out there to be had but this just smacks of nepotism.. I suppose the only way to find out for certain is to do the testing ourselves but finding the time ect....
What do you think?
