Ditch MS, Embrace The Fox
I have been saying it for over a year now, and even Microsoft, it seems, agrees. In this article in Slate (owned by Microsoft) the author advocates ditching Internet Explorer and embracing the tight, fun Mozilla Firefox browser. Leave the dark side and come over to the REAL internet. (Pop up? Spyware? what are those? I am sorry, I just don't know what you are talking about.) And it is so simple to make the switch" At only 4.7MB (Windows), Firefox only takes minutes to download over a fast connection. The installer gets you set up quickly, and the new Easy Transition system imports all of your settings - Favorites, passwords and other data from Internet Explorer and other browsers - so you can start surfing right away. " If you don't like it, uninstall. You needn't remove IE, just move it off your start bar, take it off your desktop, move it to the bottom of the dirty laundry pile to use only in a real pinch, like when you are downloading stuff of Microsoft's homepage (sometimes the guys in Washington get real mean and only allow their browser to download stuff) Let me know if you try it and what you think.
