Internet Explorer (being sarcastic)

I haven't mentioned much of my thoughts about this browser, other than:

'What on earth is that application doing taking up my computer space?'

Honestly, I have only use Internet Explorer maybe less than twenty times this year, after my computer was updated to XP. I have only used it to test websites that I code, to make sure that those whom insist on using Internet Explorer will see my site just as well as anyone else.

Honestly, who would use a program that seems to update itself each time a new Windows operating machine is released? FireFox, Opera, Safari, Netscape, even Chrome (still in BETA though) hasn't updated as much as Internet Explorer. Yes, FireFox is currently in version 3.0.4, but the two extra numbers aren't important. Internet Explorer is at version 8 now, FireFox isn't even at 4 yet!

And why did it take Internet Explorer forever to realize that they were the only browser left that didn't contain the tab feature? It took them years before they updated to version 7, currently used by a good portion of the world.

Now, FireFox isn't perfect, but neither is Internet Explorer. FireFox has a cool logo, who could say 'no' to a fox on fire surrounding the world? Alright, IE fans would, but since when is a blue 'E' anymore exciting?

I guess I'll stop being sarcastic and end this post.

IE problems

Well, it appears that recently some hackers have found yet another way to get inside Internet Explorer.

It appears that users of Internet Explorer are being 'encouraged' to use a different browser for a 'little while'.

Ha, I hope that the switch to FireFox/Chrome/Opera/Safari becomes 'permanent'.

I wonder how long until Internet Explorer gets attacked again.

Release date of Windows 7?

So, researching online, I've noticed that Windows 7 may be released as early as June of 2009. Doubt it, but who believes that Windows 7 could be released sometime in 2009? I have a poll set up to answer it. I am unsure of the exact date, to be honest.
