    Use Firefox myself, wonderful browser (altho the first release of 0.9 wasn't that good imo).

    Personally i feel if IE was stood up against Firefox, netscape, opera and some other popular browsers, it wouldn't stand a chance. The problem is that most IE users haven't got a clue about IE yet they still stick by it. They still wonder where they get their viruses from

    True, and it can sometimes be difficult explaining to people that use IE particularly those who dont have a clue about computers, why they should dump IE and get somthing else. I hope the rumors of a MS total restart/build of IE is true. If it is they could add proper support for CSS while their at it.

    The thing is, if it is your own work then surely you'd try to promote it right? So technically he is only trying to seek gratitude for his work which is fair enough. It's a shame the rest of the world don't share his opinion

    Kezzer think you been sniffing that stuff at the back of the fridge again ain't you Granted IE has its pro's and con's just like any other bit of software, but there comes a point where you are sick of patching your software every week because of some "critical security flaw" if M$ put the money into testing as they should they would find the majority of the problems there and then.

    I have the latest version of IE. Every time I use it I get a virus... hence why I'm using Firefox.
    PHP Code:
    $s = new signature();
    $s->sarcasm()->intellect()->font('Courier New')->display();

    0.9 had some issues (for me) where some pages/images would appear as random character strings. Also I found the download manager very unstable (altho the latest one still doesn't resume that well). Can't put my finger on what exactly was wrong with it since when I went to 0.9.1 all the problems were gone Now thats what a new version is meant to do (fix problems)!
