Microsoft has just released a beta version of Internet Explorer 8, already! I’m personally not a fan of IE, but thought I’d have a look at it, seen as it’s 3 or 4 years since I made the switch to Firefox. Anyway, while installing IE 8 I came across this
Quite surprising that the default search provider in express settings is Google! Either an oversight by MS, or is there something we don’t know about???

IE is simply doing the right thing and respecting your previous defaults. Given that you’re a Google Toolbar user, the default search for IE 7 was probably Google and IE 8 is basically not being evil and trying to change it.
Good for them, though I’d argue that not being evil should be the norm, not some deviation from the norm.
