It's the "I'm cooler than you" syndrome.
Closely akin to "Mac users rule" complex.
Back in the 60's it was Ford vs Chevy vs Dodge.
Well it appears IE attracts bugs, virus’s etc. etc. and why people use something else. Seems “FireFox” somehow works better by some. But the question is how? Is it faster, does it show more than IE? Does it take anymore steps to boot it up? Questions still remain....:(
