Don't Ever Use Internet Explorer !
That should pretty well cover that, however, to be fair to MS, they are making some progress. Innovation has never been their strong suit, but it's not really their fault. They are so busy trying to catch up to the rest of the world, they really don't have the time or resources to do any true innovations on their own. Hell, why innovate and come up with original thoughts and methods when copying is so much easier and cheaper? My intention here is not to be a Microsoft basher, there are others doing that quite adequately.
But, for those who don't realize there are alternatives to IE, I will mention a couple, and it won't cost you an arm, leg, or even a first born, so the price is right. The most popular alternative is probably Firefox, due to the many available add-ons for it that make your browsing faster, safer, more fun, and more productive. It's fast, reliable, and a joy to use. Oh, did I mention it's free? It is.
Opera is another popular browser that has been around for years, and has been a stable program touted by many as the best. They have been responsible for a lot of the innovations we now all enjoy with most browsers. I don't have any personal experience with it, so will leave it at that.
Google's new Chrome is an interesting browser if you are still stuck with using any of the Windows platforms. They took a little different tack to get to where they are, but it's obvious it was well thought out, although it might require you to make some changes in the way you think of browsing, searching etc, but once you see what and how they do it, you might just get hooked. Oh, did I mention it's fast? It's kinda like most things Google - not quite done, but they keep at it, and adding more features all the time. At the present, I don't think they have the add-ons capability that Firefox has, but it's coming. Probably just in time to coincide with the Google OS <---- RUMOR ONLY, so far. Actually, not having all the add-ons that Firefox has would be a deal breaker for me, and I probably am asking too much of these nice free programs, but I really am getting addicted to the add-ons being there. They are just so handy.
