Just install Mozilla
I just did that with my brother, he is going to try and give up on the IE habit. Pogo.com seems to play better on Mozilla but a bit sluggish at times. Pogo.com was bitching about his JVM being out of date, yet he had the IE 6.0 SP1 installed with the latest JVM. The Mozilla Java plug-in was installed and it had no problems running the pogo.com games.

Why?
I hate anything remotely related to Netscape. It's a complete POS browser.
To me IE is basically graphical Lynx. I don't really care about peripheral issues.
Moreover, IE shows definite progress without giving up on being backward compatible with earlier versions of itself. This again indicates that MS has good programmers working on IE. I'm sure most of them are experts at UNIX.

Apparently not.
progress without giving up on being backward compatible with earlier versions of itself. Since this is *new* behaviour on IE's part, that breaks *existing* webpages, I don't believe this statement is strictly speaking, correct.

There are other browsers out there you know
[link|http://www.opera.com|Opera] being another one of them.
Mozilla is nice, because Netscape open sourced it, so it is not really 100% Netscape written anymore. Netscape uses the Mozilla source to make the Netscape browser, but the Mozilla browser is pure, without all of those AOL Gee-gaws added onto it that cause crashes and system lockups. I like Mozilla because it is a pure browser, everything you need, not the silly Gee-Gaws that I don't want. If they could just add in NT/W2K Server login responses, ActiveX control support, and VBScript support it could kick IE's butt in the corporate areas. What was that Netscape plug-in that did that, Netcompass or something? Why can't they make a plug-in like that for Mozilla?

I hate Opera
I've tried it before. It takes forever to get the fonts configured consistently and it just isn't worth it. When tight memory was an issue, it was a good alternative, because it's resource friendly - but when the most crippled machine I use has 72 megs of RAM, why bother?
In any case, I like IE and I am totally satisfied with its performance. I once irrationally joined in the chorus of boos for IE and used Netscape. I was wrong - IE has been the "better" browser since version 3.

I don't want anything else, get it?
It's a stupid browser. IE works fine.

Was going to post something along those lines
Not about IE, necessarily (you know my opinion about that) - but that's the beauty of choices.
Figured you could speak for yourself, though...
