honestly,if you use IE your computer will take a big fat **** on you at some point.
prolly sooner than later.
more malicious code is written for MS software than everything else put together.

I know there's a lot of people who aren't IE fans, but the fact is that I've used it for years and haven't had any major issues to speak of. I use Chrome now, mainly for the perceived speed difference. Just thought the new look/features of IE9 seemed intriguing. The article points out a lot of similarities to Chrome.

Looks a lot like Safari to me.

It's called ubiquity...

...kinda like cars most likely to be stolen vs. cars most commonly driven...

Me too. Firefox is the way to go.

I use Firefox as my main browser and I like it. The truth however is that FF is not as compatible as IE on many web sites.
When it comes to filling any forms on the web, FF falls apart and I have to go to the IE once more. It is also unable to use CAPTCHA and do searches on many sites.

I installed IE9. It picked the previous settings, appears faster, I need to use it a bit to see how I like it.
