You Are Probably Not Using Internet Explorer to Read This

Ah, Chrome, how I love you =D
Wouldn't let my cursor touch IE if my life depended on it.
Edit: I also have Safari and Firefox for backup =] In case Chrome packs up on me, which hasn't happened yet.

I still have to use IE sometimes because Hotmail has a bunch of bugs for other browsers and the bastards wont fix them.
Things like the browser wont remember more than one log in (a pain, since both my personal and university emails use the outlook system) and printing not being formatted properly.
I understand that they don't both with anyone that doesn't use ALL of their products simultaneously, but it's frustrating.

With the sordid history related to IE over the years since back when Win95 was the thing to have, MS hasn't done much to really improve IE to keep up with the current market. There are still plenty of problems, security leaks and just general slowness related to the product that keeps apparently half the people in the world from bothering with it anymore.
Anyone I find that still uses IE for the web I try to discourage them from continuing to use it. It's really surprising to find people who aren't even curious to find out if there is something better out there than that. I wonder if it really speaks to computer illiteracy or just laziness to not be more interested in trying to find something else.
I know back when Netscape was in the 3 build that I got attracted to it because of ongoing problems I was constantly having with IE. Whenever I get a new computer, I'll use IE long enough to update the system, and then install either FireFox or Chrome. When FireFox starts being a pain, I just switch over to Chrome on my desktop. Chrome is great on my netbook, just for the sleeker design and functionality for the limited CPU and RAM on there.
Remember when they raised that antitrust suit against MS for including only IE on the OS? Sad that it took this long to finally turn the tide enough to get more people off of IE. Still sucks ass that you can't just uninstall it without screwing up the entire OS. how that doesn't still qualify as antitrust in some fashion is beyond me. I find it strange that MS still bothers to include IE exclusively with installs of the OS instead of opening up the option of having other browsers and just charge a small fee to cover it. weird to think that MS would bypass a chance to make more money.

You could just import all your bookmarks. Or doesn't Safari let you do that?Trivun said:
OT: Yeah IE kept on freezing on me. Firefox FTW!
[sub]Chrome is good too.[/sub]
I'm using Internet Explorer, tryed the other two, think they both suck and have found nothing wrong with IE.
