So Microsoft have again put a door in their Windows

900 million users are lazy or uneducated.
Firefox has it nailed shut

~190 million users can't be wrong.
But not all 900 million occurrences of IE are used, I have it on all work and home computers but only ever use it for a site that needs it (MS online training, systemrequirements.com, very little else!)
As an aside - although I mainly use Google as my primary search engine, their behaviour regarding privacy (collecting Wi-Fi details 'accidently' whilst doing their StreetView program?, amongst others!) leaves little trust in their browser.
As another aside - my wife only ever uses IE as she finds FF too different and confusing (she's intelligent - studying for Masters

) can't cope with tabbed browsing even though IE finally supports it!
