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! :D |

Mozilla is unaffected. It knows how to open files properly. |

That's because it is.
Either way, Mozilla is a lot easier to use anyhow. The inbuilt google search bar (Much smaller than the official google bar), the tabled browsing, the popup blocker, the list just goes on. |
