So today windows asked me to update from IE7 to 8.

I did and it asked me a bunch of stuff and configurations. At one point it asked me to enable "accelerators". I was wondering what these were, so i wikid them. But still dont rlly understand how they work and what they exactly do.

Somone care to explain (keep it as simple as possible ) and if i should use them, cuz it seems to me that they'll just slow everything down, but i might be wrong.

Amen, not even a tiny piece of my mind will even THINK about IE. Let alone all the "new features" they built in.

I think it might acctullay be

The second big new feature, Accelerators, is a different story. This is arguably the most interesting new feature for IE 8 users. By simply highlighting a word in a Web page, a blue “Accelerator” icon will appear. Clicking the icon brings up a suite of accelerator options. Users can choose to blog or email with Windows Live, Map or translate with Live Search, or share with Windows Messenger.
