| 492640 | 2006-10-20 21:56:00 | Its all personal preference........ Just because someone prefers IE to Firefox - or whatever - dosen't make them any less a person. Why do "geeks" always detest MS products? IE has only been out a couple of days or so. Give it a decent evaluation for gawds sake |

Give it a decent evaluation for gawds sake Becuase geeks know that microsoft sucks and most geeks are to poor to afford microsoft products. So they use freeware alternatives that are better than microsofts.And IE has been around for years not days, (yes I know your refering to the latest version but its no more secure, for each bug thats fixed another one appears or another one is discovered) :thumbs: |

| 492647 | 2006-10-26 10:29:00 | I've had quite a few crashes since I upgraded to Firefox two, probably ten in three days. Don't know what is going on but it doesn't seem quite stable yet to me. I am still using it as have always liked it and because even with a fast PC, I find IE is just slower. Opera however might steal me away yet. | Twelvevolts (5457) | ||
