Any one here using IE 8 ?

Hi ... I'm curious to know when you use IE 8 and type google url www.google.com does it take you to google dot ca or dot com ?

google.ca as Google goes by where (country) your ISP is located.

Ok great Bogie , Let me ask you where does this link below take you ?

http://www.google.com/#hl=en&q=record+streaming+audio&aq=f&aqi=g10&aql=&oq=&fp=37cc007d907fcf6c

For me I'm at the google dot ca home search page , what about you if you don't mind trying it , not to worry there no bugs with that link .

From what I gather any link with the dot com it wouldn't take you where the link is originally suppose to go but rather just to the dot ca page , which I find stupid to be .

In IE8 it takes me to the .com result:
http://www.google.com/#hl=en&q=record+streaming+audio&aq=f&aqi=g10&aql=&oq=&fp=37cc007d907fcf6c

In FireFox and Google Chrome it takes me to the .ca version of the search on the .com:

Something very odd is going on . I have 3 computers , one has xp , another one has vista and this one i am using now has windows 7 , there not tied to any network . The Vista just was put on ( clean install ) . When I use IE8 to those links ? The first one that you say take you to dot com ? For me it take me to dot ca search page , and this is on all there computers . the last one there take me to some remax dot ca . I know my computers are clean , have done different spyware scans and all come back clean , very odd ...

Thanks Bogie for assisting .

the last one there take me to some remax dot ca .
LOL, that was my fault on the .ca link ... I was just working on a Re/Max education website and I don't know how that link was redirected to that site - but my fault.

Try again, I just fixed the post.

If I type in dot com, it goes to ca. If I click on the dot com link it goes to .com.

I can't get any dot com with IE 8 towards google , its all dot ca ... If I use Chrome , I then can get dot com ...

[BillD]

What happens when you click the .com link near the bottom of the .ca page?

You just solved for me . I now can get dot com ... I guess because I have google as my home page from dot ca that was the reason why it always came as dot ca but now I get everything dot com from your advise , thanks
