Principles
I will NOT use IE because of MS's past (and continuing?) conduct in the browser/web area. This attitude extends to other products and companies. If consumers were more aware and principled regarding with whom they deal (and whom they idolize) I believe we would have a much better society. To deserve me as a friend/customer/user you have to have certain ethical standards. My memory is as long as the elephant's.
