If you’re running the IE9 Release Client (huge improvement over IE8) and sites are crashing it could be that your Java isn’t updated to version 6 update 24. Versions before that (I had update 23) will crash the web page and send it in a loop of crash, reload, crash, etc. You can also click the compatibility mode button (if you’re fast enough) to prevent the crash.

If you are using bitlocker and get an upgrade failure, it seems it’s not sufficient enough to suspend it as the documentation may lead you to believe. You must disable and decrypt the drive first.
I was getting an error about not finding source file about 1/2 way through the upgrade (after first reboot) that doesn’t indicate anything about bitlocker. After verifying my media and install sources were good I took a guess and decrypted the system drive.
Also I think IE 8 beta and RC1 have an issue with Google Toolbar 5 on both of these Windows 7 builds. I get a lot of tab crashes while it’s installed.
