IE8?

Hi guys,

Running IE8 on my XP machine and noticed that there are 4 processes of iexplorer.exe running in processes.

I checked on another Vista machine and the same occurs.

Anyone seen this?
I presume this is common?

Thanks

2, here. XP Pro

Same here, under Process Explorer from sysinternals

XP pro sp3 it shows 2 instances of ie running.

2 here, visa sp1 and sp2 (vm)

Were you using one page with inprivate browsing on ?

Initially open the browser and jsut going to google there are 2 running.

Upon opening another Tab within the same browser it creates another thus having 3.

I stopped there.

Lets open 10 ? :(

Hmm opened 7tabs, each on different sites, and it only loaded up 5ie process's

i went as far as opening 15 tabs and it didn't go further then 5 processes..

doesn't google chrome do something similar, each time you open a new tab it creates it's own process?

Or am i confusing myself with something else.. :confused:
