For what it’s worth, my only use of IE in the last 20 years has been to download an alternate browser, to run Updates, and to access MSDN downloads where it’s required.
I’ve hated IE from the start. Always been a Netscape/Firefox fan, myself.
Yeah. It frosts my pumpkin that every time I set up a Windows box I have to use IE to download Firefox. Then I feel like a I need a shower.
