I always used IE until they got the version with the tabs. If I had several tabs open and wanted to close the window, it'd freeze 8/10 times so I got FF. >>

its not just IE's fault. Its microsoft's fault for not building an OS with a modular design. Other web browsers have security holes too but IE is so much integrated into windows that a security flaw in IE is a security flaw in the OS. Try and open the windows HELP, it will automatically launch IE. :x
