Remove IE.......?
"You can't get to Win Update through any other browser avail. on the market". That is a bunch of bull now. I just used Netscape8 to update a friends computer for I used XPLite to remove IE and the computer us running with no problems at all. I am getting really tired of everyone saying Linux isn't ready for the desktop. I am using it right now (SUSE 9.3) with no problems at all. You don't need to go and download anything if you don't want too. Linux has eveything that you need installed already. The problem is people and the fear of change. People by nature don't like change and will fight it all the way. Oh wells. Linux is ready and MS knows it.
