Now, I'm not a Firefox evangelist but, c'mon folks. I'm at a loss for a clear understanding of why people don't more off IE other than the fear of something new.

They have never considered quality or security an important issue. I've been using Firefox for quite a long time and there are very few sites that I find IE specific now, you can always use <a href="https://addons.mozilla.org/extensions/moreinfo.php?id=1419&application=firefox" rel="nofollow">IETab extension</a> though for those rare occasions or <a href="http://ieview.mozdev.org/" rel="nofollow">View in IE extension.</a> Thanks, I'm glad you enjoy it and don't worry, we'll keep posting :) Richard: I agree, they are just a ruthless business, they use every dirty trick in the book (monopolising, anti-competitive behaviour, crushing or buying out any upcoming competition etc).

I switched to the Firefox browser and am very glad that I did. Granted, I cannot access some Microsoft-technology-specific content but this, to me, is a small price to pay for speed, stability, security, etc. I enjoy your blog, by the way; keep up the good work!
