I have IE 8 and it crashes every time I use it, usually within 5 minutes of starting it. It is truly a piece of crap.

Same here. It crashes at the drop of a hat and then tries to reopen the tab with which it is having trouble, thereby sending the entire browser into a feedback loop (use Windows Task Manager to close IE 8). Internet Explorer 8 is not ready to be a public beta, much less to be an RTM.
