This was not expected not even by the most pessimist people out there. It seems that the BETA version of Internet Explorer 8 is full of problems.

According to various blogs if you try to access the windows update page with Internet Explorer 8 then you will experience a small problem as it tells you that you need to have Internet Explorer 5 or a newer version…

Anyway, this is a BETA version so it is forgiven …for now :)

The US airforce, according to wired has forbidden their staff to access any sites that are and appear to be blogs.

The main criterion is the site’s address. If it has “blog” in it (ie blogspot) then the site is off limits. Other sites will be automatically (somehow) recognized as blogs and the access will be forbidden. Of course WordPress is in the black list.

According to the announcements blogs reduce productivity, misinform and can also jeopardize national security?
