What A Bunch Of Microsoft Sheep
Any Microsoft user that doesn't sit there and seriously reconsider going to Firefox and continues to "hold out" and then pay for Giant Spyware (it's NOT Microsoft Spyware, it's Giant's and just has the Microsuck logo slapped on it) is a complete brain dead zombie in my opinion. Microsoft has had YEARS to address this issue and just because Firefox came out:

1. Built to industry standards. Those of you who say that the pages that run in IE won't run in Firefox? That's because whoever created that page had to tweak the code so it would work in IE due to it not being industry compliant, so when you run it in Firefox it won't render properly. It's not Firefox's fault, it's the industry's fault for having to reengineer their code to work with IE.
2. Preventing Spyware
3. Preventing Adware
4. Preventing Popups
5. Providing extensions that do a myriad of neat things

Microsoft "suddenly" jumps into the game of protecting your browser. Had Firefox not hit the scene IE would still continue to be the POS it is and we would be overrun with Spyware on our machines. Wake up and smell the open source you dopes.

Running Firefox since June 2004
Spyware/Adware/Popup free since June 2004
