Well now that I know some sites don't work with Firefox, I will definitely not want to uninstall IE. I rarely touch it otherwise. So I guess it doesn't really bother me to have it.

Mmh, I'd have to check that Opera, it sounds good.

There's actually an extension for Firefox that will let you render the current tab with IE. There's at least one site I use that requires IE, so having that extension/plugin thing is pretty convenient.

I started avoiding common MS software as much as possible after I got hit by an Outlook Express worm, years ago.

I used to extensively use Arachne web browser. Man, that was one badass browser for being a DOS program.

Yeah, just go to the Widows components wizard and uncheck IE.
It's not technically 'deleting' in the sense of ...Whatever.
You can you use it to uncheck those useless games.

Yeah, I usually use Altools software when I use winblows.

I've got a few people giving the new site a workout, hopefully no nasty bugs come up and then it's ready to go. I think I've even managed to get IE7 working right, although it still has some minor CSS-related issues. So, good news for that 1 guy that voted IE :)

The new system should be online probably sometime tomorrow. There will be some downtime as I move things around and do some general housekeeping on the server.

Even if you remove Internet Explorer (Which can be done in WinFLP), Windows Explorer will still magically turn into Internet Explorer whenever you enter a URL.

Well I decided while I had everything offline, I'd go ahead and update things such as PHP4 to PHP5. Ran into a few snags in the process, so I won't be able get it back online tonight. Will be up for sure tomorrow afternoon though!

Very true there. But why call it "Magic"? It's not that complicated of why it would. Just decompile explorer and the answer is right in your face.*
