In 1999 you would have said that of Netscape, and switched to IE. Ever run a successful bidness with lotsa irons in the fire and money, not quality, on your mind?

I'm starting a 'Save the Noobs' campaign against DaWei's policies toward noobs. Who's in?

You can't save fools from themselves. It's a matter of definition.

You'd think they'd make themselves extinct. Unfortunately it hasn't happened yet.

I agree with you there. Back to the forum though... Why isn't there a choice on the poll for people who do not hate IE. I know I know you're probably gonna say you didn't know there were people who like IE, but there are.

Well, I hope they make IE 7.0 better because when I tried it when I installed vista, I just ended up installing firefox after about 10 minutes. It does look nice though.

Because this thread is about how much people hate it. Make a thread for people who like it if you really want...

I believe the title of the thread is "How much do you hate internet explorer?", which is a question, which means that I can answer it with "I do not hate it at all."

You're not answering with a correct question.

It's asking "How much do you hate Internet explorer?" not "Do you hate Internet explorer or not?"

That's like someone asking you what day it is and you replying with the time.

hoffmandirt · Apr 27th, 2006, 9:59 AM

No your wrong. How much do you hate internet explorer is like asking how much gas is in your tank. There could be a lot or there could be none at all, as with this case, there is no hate for internet explorer comming from myself. Not once did I say that it was a do you or don't you hate internet explorer question.

Actually, I think they are. I am really pissed off at symantec, because some critical bugs on their products caused me to reinstall OS X, back when I had 10.2. And that's not only me talking.

I can't seriously take into consideration statements by symantec, since on the Mac they have the buggiest anti-virus ever.
