IE VS Firefox - Top 10 Reasons to Drop Internet Explorer

,----[ Quote
| Most people don't consider how much their web browser affects them.  Turn on 
| your Windows PC, there's IE already installed, and presto - IE is now your 
| browser.  Microsoft may be one of those companies that everyone loves to 
| hate, but humor me for just a second and consider this.  How often do you 
| call a friend or family member because your computer has become a total mess?  
| Do you notice over time that your computer slows to a crawl?  Have you ever 
| had your browser hijacked, funneling you into a stream of obscene images 
| and/or advertisements?  Do you think it is coincidence that these problems 
| largely only affect those using Microsoft's Internet Explorer?  NO!
