If you've seen Windows Update offer you and update to IE8, comment here and tell us

- what country you're in

- What OS you're on

- What version of IE you were using

e.g.

IE8 update offered: Taiwan, XP service pack 2, IE 6

Microsoft will close comments on this thread soon enough. When that happens, please tweet about it on twitter with the same format.

I saw a few tweets yesterday from users in New Zealand, so it's definitely started.

Yeah I know, I was just thinking maybe I missed something. With the blog being down a lot lately at least for me. I can wait, with IE7 I think they had a exact date. I just was wondering if it had started to be released yet or if I was a week ahead. Not that I want my IE8 NOW lol.

"Starting on or about the third week of April, users still running IE6 or IE7 on Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows Server 2003, or Windows Server 2008 will get will get a notification through Automatic Update about IE8."

It's the 4th week now and no joy. Unless you meant the third "full" week.
