IE users who haven't tried it simply don't understand. I sure didn't, and to think I suffered with IE for years. It is way ahead of IE in configrability, security and ease of use.

Unfortunately, there are some situations where you really MUST use IE...

There are some portals that depend on IE to do what you need to do... For example, Netscape (or Konqueror) just doesn't work right with Novell's management portal, iManager, or for that matter, their remote management portal.

I believe that you also need to use IE for WindowsUpdate as well.

Right. I've run into this situation too. Interestingly enough, as my mother has found, the MSN games site won't work with Mozilla, either. Wonder why? (wink, wink).

I installed an extension in Firebird that will allow me to right click on a link and have it open in Internet Explorer. I think I've only had to use it once or twice, though, in about a year of browsing with Firebird.

If it weren't for sites like those, I might consider actually deleting Internet Explorer altogether.
