| | I absolutely have no problem at all with my firefox. Ever since the first time explorer died on me and I couldnt install a new one, I then decided to install firefox.(I had never installed it before because I was happy with explorer and did not even need another navigator). I am glad that that happened because there are so many extensions you can install on firefox that make it great, and the themes are cool too (a must have, because I think that that is what draws people from firefox, the simple and ugly gui (kind of reminded me of windows 95 or 3.11). In this newer pc I immediately installed firefox and whenever I feel like it I can right click and "view this page in IE" in case I need to. |

What's wrong with attempting to increase the publicity and general user acceptance of Internet Explorer? Personally, I don't like it or use it as a web browser, but if people can 'spread FireFox' freely, they should be able to do the same to Internet Explorer or any other software application without being riddiculed. Just because you and I don't like the current major version, doesn't mean no-one else is allowed to. Anyway, this site does seem to be a joke, intended more to make fun of Microsoft's browser than 'spread' it. But I still think that if you make fun of or belittle someone simply because they use Internet Explorer (or because they don't use FireFox), then you are foolish and close-minded beyond words. Excuse me while I brace myself for the torrent of abuse I am bound to receive from a bunch of 13 year olds for saying that.

well i tried out IE 7 it is pretty good except the stupid browser crashes on me and freezes, (stupid beta designs) but other then that havn't really had any other problems with it, besides that you now have png file formats accepted meaning no more lightblue background on renders.

I just don't see the reason that why are people against or with the Internet Explorer. What I mean to say is that doesn't all of the browsers allow you to browse websites? I think that Interent Explorer is pretty standard and most people have it. I had Firefox, and it was the same as Internet Explorer except it had tabbed browsing. I am sure that all of the browsers are pretty much the same, and it is only the add-ons and extensions which make them different.

Whether or not it's a joke, it made me laugh.  I can imagine them making up some fake blogs just for show, I don't think they could be serious. If they are... Well, I guess I don't feel too bad having a laugh at their expense. It is interesting though that SpreadFirefox has become big enough for parodies to arise. The market is opening up to new browsers, and even the Windows line of operating systems is losing some ground. In my opinion, this is a sign of progress against Microsoft's near-monopoly on the computer industry. It'll be nice to see things broken up a bit, and it might make things safer--it would make things harder for viruses, and malware wouldn't be compatible on everything. Let's hope this change of pace continues!

I personally use Internet Explorer 6... Why? Because I'm just used to it! (even though it sucks, but I use Firefox in my second os - SuSE Linux 10) Believe it or not, you have to be an advanced user to use IE! I haven't caught any spyware or viruses using IE, but my friend ended up with a couple of "dialers", spyware programs, smiley central installations, additional explorer toolbars, "sexNOW" icons on his desktop and start menu etc. only after a week after his first day online! Why? Because he just clicked "yes" on any dialog that popped out mindlessly (most of them were offering him to install some sort of an ActiveX control). Some of those windows are asking you to install e.g. a new version of Macromedia Flash Player, while others are offering you "The Free XXX toolbar, get it now!", or worse "To view this site, you need to install this program" (aka - Heavy Duty Spyware). One more reason why I use IE, despite my existing Firefox installation: Some sites have stupid popups, nag boxes or changed home pages that say "switch to firefox!" or "Internet Explorer has prevented you from experiencing a better internet!" - so, what's up with that? One of the Top10 unwritten rules for creating a website says: "I doubt that any of your visitors will switch over to another browser just to view your site". Additionally, when a bunch of newbies (that can barely use Google) start shouting "Firefox RuLeZ!!!111", my stomach makes a 180 degree spin... These creeps make me feel like I’m joining a group of junkies, not Firefox users Just take a look at those losers at the Spreadinternetexplorer.com forums! They don't have the human decency to even read what the website says, and find out that it's just a joke, instead they just go on straight to the forums and make one liner posts saying "F**k off! FF is the best!". Would you switch over if somebody made a suggestion like that to you!? To make the long story short, I agree mostly with this site: http://www.anybrowser.org/campaign/Just use any browser that suites you best! Of course, I also agree that only one browser available out there is not enough, far from it, without Firefox, Opera or Netscape, we would probably be stuck with a buggy, slow, and feature-poor IE, after all, competition can do wonders! Firefox is another browser that will make the Microsoft staff scratch their heads and say “Where did we go wrong”? PS: Although I did go a bit over the line here, let's try not to make this thread turn into a Firefox VS Internet Explorer flame

Does Practice Really Make Perfect?
Here's my thought... (11) We have all heard of the saying 'Practice makes Perfect'. I actually disagree with that

thought is that practice does not make perfect... it just makes permanent. If a child is learning to
play the Concert C Major Scale... but plays and practices it wrong over and over again... it will
not be perfect. His Concert C Major Scale will be permanently wrong... until he fix....
