The way their code is tied together and uses all sorts of propriety hooks who knows?

The only time I used IE was to get XP updates.

Ask any 100 XP users how to get IE updates WITHOUT using Windows Update service.

Best of luck with that. I'll bet you 99 of the 100 say, "WHUT?"

The 1 out of 100 is a corporate SysAdmin who has a Windows Update server.

Why did you need IE to get updates and not some other browser like Firefox? Never used IE of anything for years now.
