Hi guys, have just finished upgrading network to IE8. So far, it looks good & it is fairly faster than 7.

Problem is that I wanted to check on WCG to see if any badges been earned yet, only to find that ALL Vista machines cannot connect to WCG. Tried with XP & XP 64 & they connected but with errors on the page (mainly graphics).

Anybody else experiencing this problem?

My Vista laptop connects to WCG without problem. Had to re-login when I got the new machine, that was all. That is with IE7, although. Knowing Microsoft, I suspect some new level of security that you may have to switch off - when you can find it. :roll:

Must have been one of these Windoze "bumps". Rebooted all Vista rigs & net access ok, including WCG.

I'd like to be excited about this but it's been FireFox for me for some time now. I doubt I'll go back to IE

I was firefox exclusively for a while, but since tabbed browsing appeared in IE7 I've gone back and forth. I still use both as some sites simply work better depending on the browser I'm using. My biggest beef is lately I've upgraded to the most recent flash version and now flash won't work in firefox...until that gets resolved I'll be using IE exclusively for a while...
