Great contest! But, hmm... Why is there no confirmation at the end? Just click the DL link at the end and that's it? Nothing that says, "Thanks for entering!" or "You've been entered into the contest!" or anything like that? Odd... Oh well. I hope I'm in...

Ditto.
But seriously, why make me download IE8 to enter the contest if I'm already using IE8?
Wow, Tom's is hosting a way to possibly win a $400 newegg gift card or a netbook and your complaining because all you have to do is use IE8 for a few minutes, or until it crashes I suppose.
Tom's didn't sell out, if they did they would be endorsing IE8 not giving you a link to a contest.

in fact, the whole contest targetted by the link you talk about is hosted on tomshardware.com ... does that ring a bell?
[citation][nom]seboj[/nom]Sounds like Microsoft paid the site to host this "contest" involving downloading IE8, in an attempt to increase IE marketshare even further.[/citation]
Another victory for captain obvious
it didn't even seem like they care if you install it... i didn't see anything anywhere stating you actually had to install ie8... jane? is this accurate?
