Internet Explwhat?

Really.. I use Firefox.. but anything that makes Microsoft pay more attention to things like security holes is good. While I doubt I'll ever go back to IE (especially since I run Linux...), I don't have anything against other people doing it..... as long as the product isn't such a security hole.

Because IE is so integrated into WinWhatever, a lot of the bugs in 'IE' may be bugs in their shell in general... but they all get lumped into the IE category... I imagine if IE was so integrated there wouldn't be as many security holes. Anyways, I'm rambling.. point is.. I love FF.. but it's also good because it makes a safer product for people who don't use it.
