    They only still have a big share in the market because it's bundled in by default more or less and less savvy/novice users just stick with what they got/first install. Never liked IE and never will, don't care how much they try to tell us the browser is not tied to the OS as we all know otherwise! :)

    I was so mad when Microsoft bundled IE with Windows.
    What a scam.
    Netscape Navigator was so much better.
    Microsoft used their EEE strategy to kill off the competition.

    It's about stinking time. If there was ever a case against a corporation for monopoly practices, here is the poster child.

    Oh no.. that means using another browser isn't trendy and cool anymore, guess it's back to IE;)
    Though in all seriousness, IE was pretty bad but it started to redeem itself a bit. I can't blame them for including IE in their OS's.. it wasn't like they'll lock you to it and not let you install any other.

    Ya I think I have seen this coming for a long time, IE is very unreliable, slow, and insecure. I have been in love with Google Chrome ever since it came out, and they keep making it better and better!

    You are totally right ! goolge Chrome has surely passed IE for the best browser in town. Here's an idea: Browser Stats

    Internet explorer is a useless browser that not only slows down your PC but makes it possible for virus to act on them.

    1 of the reasons that I use Multiple browsers is That it makes it harder 4 Companies to track my activities. Also for things like banking, It is good to use a clean browser That is only used for banking , and then another browser for other activities. Personally, I use firefox , chrome and safari. I have internet explorer installed But I rarely use it accept when I need to research a bug related to design.
