    IE8 Uninstall query
    « on: May 24, 2009, 03:16:48 PM »
    I haven't upgraded at the moment as l'm still trawling around looking through peoples's pros and cons. If l were to install it and then want to remove it, l checked out the microsoft site to do this and within the same paragraph they say -

    After you install Windows XP Service Pack 3 (SP3), you cannot uninstall Windows Internet Explorer 7 or Internet Explorer 8.
    and
    Note This issue does not occur if you install Internet Explorer 7 or Internet Explorer 8 after you install Windows XP SP3.

    Am l going doolally or what! Don't these two statements contradict themselves?

    If l've got XP (sp3) can l or can l not revert back to IE7?

    LOL! Two options...
    1) Microsoft are being Microsoft
    2) We're both doolally


    The answer is, yes, you can go back to IE7 if you don't like IE8.
