Have you noticed the links in Win8 / IE don’t open?

Click on a hotlink and nothing happens. You have to right click and “open in a new tab” or “Open in a new window”

Yea and I've noticed more issues with it. Using Tabs which lessens the crashes means you can not tell what site you are in. I have 5 Tabs open all in FR. All say Waiting for freerepublic. In windows mode it will list where you are but it will crash if more than three are open. The most frequent page I see on Windows 8 says "This Page Can Not Be Displayed".

Another annoying issue that was fixed on XP IE8 but is back with W-8 is the disappearing typing. For example I'm typing a post and see a mistake. I go to it and back space and correct it. From then on what I type makes the text I've already typed disappear. It types over it. These are issues they have to know exist and simply don't care.
