Thread: Don't know what you're talking about, Internet Explorer is great!

  1. #1

    Default Don't know what you're talking about, Internet Explorer is great!

    I mean I turn on my brand new computer, connect it to the internet and the first thing I do is open Internet explorer. ANd from there I was able to go to Mozilla and Download Firefox.

    Had Internet Explorer not been there for me, I'd be completely Firefox-less right now.

    Thank you Internet Explorer.

    ubuntu is everywhere now.

    IE is ugly. I don't remember how it went as far as functionality, but it's ugly.

    This is because it is clearly superior. As evinced by the fact that it cannot run Internet Explorer.

    Camino's actually a pretty decent browser, too.

    Haven't you heard? Ubuntu has ceased to be hip and trendy on the internet. They're letting just anybody use it these days.

    Hip and trendy went out years ago, iirc.

    If I was being forced to use Linux, I'd go with Ubuntu. I like being able to use my computer and install stuff without a fight though. Windows is lazy friendly.

    I'm at work using IE6 right now actually. It's so much faster than Firefox, which I use at home. I'm not kidding, it really is.
    I like Kung-Fu.

    You maybe could have FTP'd the Mozilla site with windows explorer. Maybe

    With Linux, you don't need a browser to download a different browser. You can do it from the command-line with wget.

    Yeah, Windows sucks too, but I'm far too lazy for Linux. Even Unne told me that I was probably better off with Windows.

    However, IE is terrible.

    IE9 is actually somewhat halfway decent (doesn't mean I use it, of course), unlike that digital turd called IE6. It's mind-boggling how a large share of businesses still haven't upgraded their software into the 21st century. This is what happens when BA courses don't teach anything IT-related (or anything realworld-related for that matter) beyond basic Word and Excel skills.
