I really don't understand why people have a fixation with IE.

It is clunky, bandwidth destroying, anything but user-friendly.

Just because Microsoft drove Netscape to the wall because they included IE in Windows, doesn't mean they will topple Google. Or Firefox. Both of which are vastly superior browsers. As was Netscape Navigator.

The first thing I do when I get a new computer is download Firefox. That is usually the first and last time I use IE.
