RE: why switch from IE to alternatives?..
I switched to Firefox yesterday and I'm actually really glad I did...

2 reasons why: IE becomes a pain in neck after installing SP2 and Firefox seems to load pages much faster. Only downside is that you need to reinstall most plugins when switching to Firefox (Flash, Java).

Anyway I can highly recommend it...;)
No, I didn't search before
posting. Don't bother asking.

In reference to your poor attempt at sayimg MS is purposefully NOT keeping up to date:


whats ur point? that they care more about "business purposes" than keeping the web a standard place and furthering the development of new ones? or that they get mad when someone else tries to come up with a standard that they don't like(see the quote below as evidence).

When debating, it is important to both provide evidence, and Interpret the evidence...

The United Nations standard, which was backed by some American companies and which has been widely adopted in Asia and Europe and by the Pentagon, competes in some ways with a joint Microsoft-IBM effort to establish a different set of standards.

hmmm...
i do have firefox installed, lots of cool features, but the main reason i use it is that it is a lot less vulnerable then IE
However, it seems to me that SP2 got cover of most issues that bother me in IE...
