After the constant discoveries of holes and Microsoft's refusal to admit there are holes in IE, I ask: Why do people keep using Internet Explorer? I don't get it.

Yup, anyone can pretty much spoof a file type, let you think its a .pdf .html or whatever when it's actually a .exe and boom you got a nice chance for viruses to get in. GO IE!!

Stop using that crap browser and save me some time wasted on useless tech-support calls!

yup! I think the average user is unaware of the many different types of browsers available out there other than IE.
Either that or just pure laziness
