Well you got me sold on that one!
The main thing I don't like about IE is that so many programs won't install properly unless you let them imbed themselves into the browser. Then there's so many things you can't get with your Windows OS without IE. IE has so much unnecessary proprietary shit attached it's like having another OS all into itself.
I remember the good ol' days. A browser was just that, a browser not looking like a console to a Star Trek LCars menu system.
