There are a lot of touchy-feely "oo, new browser, pretty toys" type articles out there - but I'm looking for something that basically says: IE is a major security problem. Mozilla, while not perfect, resolves a lot of those problems. Use Mozilla instead. Anybody got one? Tired of lying in the sunshine staying home to watch the rain. You are young and life is long and there is time to kill today. And then one day you find ten years have got behind you. No one told you when to run, you missed the starting gun.
