Usually, if you’re going to knock someone for their poor use of the English language then you should try spellcheck before adding your two cents.

The major reason why you wouldn’t use IE has to do with security. It has more holes than Swiss cheese. Plus, Firefox has layers of protection not including the plethora of cool add-ons that simply your browsing experience.

Lots of haters here, I myself don’t use IE but I do have it installed, I don’t see any reasion not to.

But you know we have some quality posters here when they give you lines like “The song is also gay” or using the words “sucks” several times in a two sentance post…

The implication is absolutely brilliant… Crappy band & Crappy browser.

To be honest….

I would let them gouge my eyes out with a flaming hot fireplace poker for downloading IE8 than get a free nickleback song.

That being said, I already have downloaded IE8 (by choice [screw you]) and would actually rather not receive both. But I would still likely take the first over the latter.

I’d rather buy the album and pirate the unreleased song than download ie8. If they give me money I’ll download their browser…wonder if they’d be interested?
