[QUOTE="Bob Blaylock, post: 302131, member: 16749"] It is always a very bad idea to use IE for general-purpose web browsing. If you insist on doing so, then please spare us the complaints about the obvious results; which could end up being much worse than simple performance, rendering or ergonomic issues. Pay a visit to Microsoft's Windows Update site, and then take a moment to think about the significance of it. IE has the authority to download and install updates to your operating system. It has the authority to alter your operating system. Now, if IE can download and install legitimate updates from Microsoft, what do you suppose it can download and install from less reputable sites that you might visit? And of course, on top of the gaping security issues, there is that Microsoft has long been trying to force its own “standards” on the WWW, very much in conflict with the established standards used by everyone else, with the result that any web site of any complexity that follows the genuine standards will not work well with IE, and any such web site that works well with IE won't work well with any other browser.
