Story: Internet Explorer 8: features & benchmarks
IE8 Address Bar 'Nag' - another MS 'tie-in', another law-suit.
IE8 Address bar, the features mentioned regarding web site history are only fully implemented if MS Windows Search has been installed. The 'basic' address bar has a constant 'Nag' in bold blue (which changes to bold blue underlined (as a link) when your mouse hovers over it.
This nag appears every time you type in the address bar and is very distracting, unless of course - you take the advice of MS and install Search V4.
That is the problem with IE8, compared to firefox. Its like been in a room with pushy MS Salesmen hovering over you and its a big turn-off. Be it the install process or using the product - one slip and you have defaulted to another MS Product, be it Live Search, Search V4, Live Blog, Office LIve. The sheer desperation of MS Bid to win against Google is very apparent, but then Chrome 2.0 is probably the same but with Googe Salesmen, looking slightly more hip, but recording everything you say,do, eat - toilet breaks etc, and comparing your tastes against the curtains you have chosen from the newly acquired front view of your house - street view.
