Why Doesn't Bill want us to uninstall his browser?

ftpx is good for windows standards.

quote:well, not entirely true. there are many open source programs, many from the GNU project, that do not use the windows registry when they are installed in windows. Mozilla firebird does not and neither does FileZilla (unless you tell it to), and many others don't also, they all use config files the same as they would in *ix.

Also programs like GAIM and GIMP use the GIMP ToolKit even when running in windows, so they don't (i think) use dlls, choosing instead to use the GTK libraries you installed (all in a sensible location so you know where they are).

And not one of those is a MS app.

First of all, IE is not standards compliant, meaning that it does not comply fully with the Worl Wide Web Consortium Standards (W3C). Therefore, most of the sites you visit or have visited have not rendered properly so you were not getting the full picture.

Secondly, IE is notoriously bad when it comes to math. Yes, math. For example, you have to pass useless instructions to your CSS, just for IE to get it and render the page properly. It's also really crappy when it comes to rendering a site which depends heavily on level 2 CSS, especially IE 5.* plus it can't do the cool things Mozilla can do. Take a look at this page also to see what a Gecko-based browser can do.

Thirdly, IE is ridiculously insecure. Did you know that the CD-opening script is just a two lines VB script? Or that the page that crashes IE, depends on a simple line of HTML?

Check it out.        

Now, if you still want to stick with IE, I don't really know what else I can say.     :confused:
