I've had it for a coupla months now. Took a little getting used to but, I like it now.
The new version of Internet Explorer (8, I think). And so far, I like it much better.

I hate change for the sake of change - there wasn't anything wrong with IE6.
I think it is a little faster then IE7, hangs up less and thank god! it did not crash anything.
I tried the beta version when it first came out and oh boy,,, bad, bad, bad things happened. Glad to see that they have the bugs worked out now
People still use Internet Explorer???? And they're still releasing upgrades????

Do not argue with an idiot. He will drag you down to his level and beat you with experience.
I also prefer Mozilla as my main
but you gotta have explorer as well because of the programs tied to it.
For example
Davenet and partners portal are tied to I.E.
Graingers is tied to I.E.
never did understand why a company would tie into it but they have
so if you want those pages ya gots to run em in I.E.
If con is the opposite of pro
is congress the opposite of progress?
I use Davenet and have used Graingers....I have IE (6 I believe) installed on the system but I never use. And those things have worked fine for me in Firefox.
I did have one program that wouldn't run in firefox (was a payment website for a supplier) but it looked like it was built back in the 80's! We don't have that supplier anymore so I closed that out and don't have to worry about it anymore.

I tried to use them on Mozilla awhile back and they would not work
I tried the Carrier portal also would not work
guess I need to try again

is congress the opposite of progress?
I just tried to access davenet from mozilla
and it said you need I.E. to access
Mrs. Reb
what am I doing wrong
If con is the opposite of pro
is congress the opposite of progress?

Funny you mention IE 8. I just updated Wednesday, through yahoo.
Everything works just like it used to...except
I can't get audio to work on some websites, the ones where there's a "play" button.
Youtube, etc., all work same as before.
Other quirk is, when I put the cursor over a picture, there used to be a box come up that I could click on the little thingy on the left and it would save it. Now, there is no box with little thingys in it, and I have to right click then save pics.
I have been in IT for decades (now retired) and even developed programs in Windows. Finally just got tired of all of the security issues and iffy new versions and switched to an Apple iMac about a year ago.
Realizing that I had many things that need Windows because either the Mac doesn't have them or the features are different and to minimize the steep learning curve of a new anything, I investigated and bought Parallels Desktop for $79. It's called virtualization software and there are other companies offering similar capabilities. It runs Windows NT and all MS apps after booting the Mac (much faster than Windows) and then launching Parallels with NT. I use it 99% of the time. You can even access Windows files from the Mac with the right settings.
I will be moving to Mac or alternative apps in the future since apps like TurboTax will not be supporting NT in 2009. I also use Eudora email and have been waiting for a version that will let me convert and save my old emails. Also will probably switch to the Mac version of Mozilla. Some of the Mac versions of MS apps do not support all of the features that the Windows versions have, so investigate. Things like macros which many people don't use but documents from others might have are not supported.
How ya liking it Delta? But it does sound like you are one of those underground Mac types.
I run the new firefox client. Ever since i loaded it on the office computers I've had less issues with viruses and malware. Still get some but overall better. Only had a compatibility issue here or there, usually due to lazy design.

My G5 was the version just before the Intel processor so it couldn't run Paralles. I purchased a program called Cross-Over which can do the same, but it wouldn't work on this MAC version. I'm going to advertise it on EBay now that I don't have the MAC anymore.
In the times I uses this MAC (2.7Ghz, 8GB ram, two drives, etc, etc.) I absolutely loved it. It actually was a machine that I could use without any, and I mean, any problems. Even the programs were so common sense in their operations I couldn't believe it. They cost more because they are worth so much more.
When I had to start converting back to using my two Dell computers all the crap starting happening again. Fighting and waiting to get them started. Updating this and that, even if I didn't know the updating was taking place. Then getting notifitied that I had to restart my computer.
Fighting to get to certain programs and certain files.............. on and on.
Once MAC has the same programs, or better, that I use now...I'm outta here!

Try downloading "IE tab" which is a Foxfire add-on that lets Firefox emulate Internet Explorer:
