Hi there! Welcome to my blog. My name is Ivan. I am a Dutch IT Professional working as Principal IT Consultant. 
Here is my script and commands I used to install Internet Explorer 8 with a cmd script. I used this script to perform manual installation but it can also be used to deploy the package with software distribution.
IE8-WindowsXP-x86-ENU.exe /passive /nobackup /norestart
The script will install IE, without user interaction, create no uninstall package and does not reboot the system. If you want to hide the installation window add “/quiet” to it. For more information click here.

Internet Explorer 8 is as stable as Opera and Firefox. it does not crash a lot like IE7.

i am pretty much satisfied about the features and stability of Internet Explorer 8. it is much better than IE6 or IE7.

Internet Explorer 8 seems to be the best browser for me. I can open more than 20 windows simultaneously without crashing. IE7 and IE6 is unstable that if you open more than windows at a time it just freezes or causes the blue screen.

What about IE8 updates? How can we install those w/o leaving messy install remnants in computers, or being hounded by MS to install when it’s already there?
