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.

"Can" being the operative word. Most systems out there either don't have auto-update, or it isn't turned on by default.

That costs money.
