[Poor language removed] me, why are people using this [Poor language removed] browser. Its broken, and its been broken since day 1!!!!

Microsoft is a shocking company with a history of releasing buggy software. My god, when people finally realise, and stop being sheep!!!!

Rant over.

It's [Poor language removed] compared to Firefox

Nothing to do with Steve Jobs. I'm a web designer and Internet Explorer doesn't comply with Web Standards and technology such as CSS 2, and even CSS 1 at some point.

CSS is what gives us the presentational styles you see on the web. IE is flawed in so many ways.

Its all a personal choice isnt it though? Browsers are like sunglasses.

Doesn't matter how expensive they are, they'll always break when you sit on them.

Not exactly no.

Ok, if you want to use an outlandish example like that, how about this.

Would you let someone build you a house out of Straw? No, because a) its not the standard way of building a house in contemporary modern life, and b) because it won't last the course.

Same reason people buy HP machines, and support the red-[Poor language removed] Ghost.

Although you are actually wrong about Microsoft being a shocking company. They appear to be doing quite well for themselves and don't exploit little children in Thailand to get where they are.

But if you didn't know there was any difference between a straw house and a brick one.

You know IE is [Poor language removed] from your experience, its job etc etc.

I believe its [Poor language removed] cause ive heard it from many people like you.

Problem is that i'd say the majority of average internet users dont know its [Poor language removed] and probably think its the best because its Microsoft and they are recognised as the number one name in computers.

So your saying that rather than riding a motorbike, which is quick and easy but offers little protection, I should be buying a Four wheel drive, which has all these functions Im not even going use when I primarily drive in the city?

I think my liberal use of Italics and sparsley impactful use of bold highlights my points.

No I'm saying Microsoft are [Poor language removed] wank at everything they do. They release a piece of [Poor language removed] software way too early to try and compete with Leopard.

They released broken browsers to compete with other browsers, rather than make sure they have a well made product.

People like Apple and Mozilla are not competing with Microsoft so they release software that works and doesn't have flaws or bugs.

But you go and buy your Microsoft [Poor language removed], but be sure to by the accompanied book on how to fix the [Poor language removed] they release.

Here endeth the lesson.

ghost i hope you give me a apple ibook for my secret santa this year!!!

if not it sounds like im fooked!!

instead of telling me how stupid/poor i am why not tell me how best to get over it!!!

would be very helpful mate love yeah!

Well there are those who have the Apple experience, and those who don't. But once you do go to Apple, you never go back.

Trust me. If you can take the plunge for an Apple, I 200% guarantee you will not regret it.

The User Interface, the coolness of them, the fact that geeks and sheeps use PC's is testament enough to move over to Apple.

Everything is better on an Apple, plus you can still play PC only games on a Mac.

look at the dock applications? They just look cool.
