Friends don't let friends use internet explorer

Ahhh... now THIS is starting to sound like the ole OS religious wars of yrs ago I used to read. Much hilarity.

True it is personal preference.. but the FF bug that you ar worried about is nothing compared to the whole that IE has that allows someone to trojan in on you and DOS the planet.

Im not sure, To calculate that you would have to trust that what MS puts in a patch or service pack description is the whole truth. Post SP2 I have about 20 Service packs, many of which seem to deal with Internet explorer according to the descriptions. Some of them patch multiple issues. Dunno, By Contrast, The Firefox buglog has 18000 of them in it.

probably the biggest difference between FF and IE or Mozilla and MicroSoft ... Microsoft dont post their bugs until they released a fix for it...

now what's wrong with the OS wars ... everybody knows that any linux distribution is far superior to anything M$ has ever produced

Oh please, I didnt invent the bandana wearing geek lable. That was a phrase I read in Peter Vanderlindens infamous Deep C Secrets book. I thought it was cute when I read it. You obviously are just hearing it for the first time. Get over yourself, your knowledge of this topic is laughable at best. Enjoy your self lovefest.

I just love people who want to think they know everything about everyone.

yeah, difference is, your computer wont crash, is secure, has no viruses, has no spyware etc etc. That dodgy stuff doesnt exist on Apple Mac. And you dont need firefox on a mac. Safari, the native browser is much better than firefox... its pure perfection in a box.

for which you've paid 50% more money to have a computer with just one mousebutton

I've worked on macs before, they were good for what I needed them for but I just never became friends with them and I'd never buy one

Plus all you just listed is true for a standard pc running linux as well funny part is that ie5 for mac was actually superiour to ie5 on windows

you pay marginally more (50% is a huge exaggeration) for a far superior machine, that works. Not to mention looking gorgeous and utilising some of the finest technology and accesories on the planet.

actually, my mac mouse has 2 buttons (invisible), a scroller in the middle and tis a thing of beauty. http://www.apple.com/mightymouse/

Microsoft have thankfully discontinued the Apple version of IE. It was a load of ####### like its windows cousin and had no place on a mac! Alas, as a Web Developer, I have to cater for Windows users. Youd be amazed how many bugs I have to workaround to make websites function for a PC. Its untrue how bad they really are... yuck

wow they made more than one button mice finally ... I've got 8 on my mouse and the scroll wheel

Now we could go on and on about how much inferior the mac or pc is, dont wanna get into that cause it is very much a religion as for designwise mac is definatly more designed than any pc but that's of course a taste matter as to whether you like it or not. All though I am very fond of the complete black and silver setup on my computer ... though the icemat is a dustmagnet but that's what you get for using a glas mousemat
