"My advice is simple: Boycott IE. It's a cancer on the Web that must be stopped. IE isn't secure and isn't standards-compliant, which makes it unworkable both for end users and Web content creators. Because of their user bases, however, Web developers are hamstrung into developing for IE at the expense of established standards that work well in all other browsers. You can turn the tide by demanding more from Microsoft and by using a better alternative Web browser."

I have been saying this for several years. Microsoft does a lot of good things, but Internet Explorer has not been one of them.

Thank you Justin French!

and pick from multiple addresses:

Hooray for the lazyweb!
