Try it and you'll see... more stable, less vulnerable, doesn't take your system down with it should it crash, tabbed browsing, built-in search bar, easier to customize... I can't think of one aspect in which IE is better.

What is so special? It's not IE.

What's so special about firefox??? I was skeptical at first, but have grown to love it. FF is now my default browser.

Oh, and the free Opera browser isn't bad, either.

It's very stable, less greedy for resources than IE5 was, at least on my poor old puter, and really only takes a day or so to get used to over IE. I do still miss having an Open command for things that aren't as important and using the URL bar as a second favorites list for URLs used daily, but beyond that, no complaints.
