Fixt to represent the truth.alright...it was funny when kanez said it, tasteful when prime said it, but it's the damn brutal truth for all of us
not hard to do when you control everything.
The reason being it comes preloaded with Windows and you can't uninstall it from your Windows computer. I thought it was pretty dirty of MS to make IE do double duty as your shell in Windows.
not hard to do when there's a reason why 95% of the people use your product.
you can't uninstall it because as you said it does double duty, that doesnt mean you have to use it as a web browser if you think it's an absoloute POS like some people claimThe reason being it comes preloaded with Windows and you can't uninstall it from your Windows computer. I thought it was pretty dirty of MS to make IE do double duty as your shell in Windows.

Nothing is perfect. I actually prefer using Avant Browser, which uses IE for its browsing engine but implements all the stuff MS forgot, like tabbed browsing, skins, and popup blocking.IE has its drawbacks, but the other browsers aren't perfect either. Mozilla has alot of bugs still, and I am sure opera does also.
One thing kids like is to be tricked. For instance, I was going to take my little nephew to Disneyland, but instead I drove him to an old burned-out warehouse. "Oh, no," I said. "Disneyland burned down." He cried and cried, but I think that deep down, he thought it was a pretty good joke. I started to drive over to the real Disneyland, but it was getting pretty late.

Actually, most of the Mac users I know use MSIE, though my Macs use iCab and Mozilla. Mozilla is pretty slow on all but my 900MHz G3, but iCab is speedy on both my 68k machines and my Power Macs. iCab is a standards-compliant browser though, so it doesn't like pages that are optimized for such and such browser, but it's fast.The most interesting thing (to me) is the low number of Mac users that use the web. There are more people using MSIE4 than Safari (all editions!!).
Never heard of it before. I'll have a look-see.Dras: Have you given camino a shot? I found it to be pretty sweet. Give it a shot if you have a chance.
