Like buying more 3rd party software to protect you from the crap MS give you..

I downloaded 3rd party software to make Windows browsing better -- Firefox! A lot easier than downloading three or four separate IE patches.

That isn't true. You can have windows update automatically grab and install updates for you, thus it is easier than installing firefox.

That being said what a ridiculous line of reasoning. Well, it was easier to stay with Windows 98 cause it was already installed, so I didn't upgrade to XP (or install Linux, you can take your pick). Hmm, I would have installed Word, but geewiz, that would involve sticking in a CD, so I'm using notepad.

Come on! Argue for the benefits of firefox over IE all you want, but don't give me I have to click on less installers ;-) I would seriously hope that isn't the way anyone chooses software.
