I think it crap and went back to IE 7, too many bugs still in it, sometimes it works and other times it will only show a couple of links from a google search then if you search again it will show them all. There where other things I didnt like but cant remember but it was pissing me off so I dumped it.

I dumped it also, was slower than 7 starting up and locked up often. Its also no good at the moment for internet banking as those sites do not recognise it etc..
