I'm finding fewer and fewer reasons to keep IE installed on my machine. Now Hotmail doesn't even work and I'm forced to use "Lookout" (Taw = Awesome) for that. Currently it's the only browser that ostensibly can access my school's intranet but that's not working either. Grr.

it's not THAT bad. You people are just over exerting it. It's the standard browser, you got it for free, what do you want?
oh and in response to
Hit the x in the tab, not the top

Just did a restore back to IE 6 7 kept closing on me and that was tiring.
Taw, the reason I hate tabed browsing, is if I hit that nice little X to close the page, like I do in IE, it closes all he tabed pages I have open.

What I want is for Internet Exploder to go away and die a cold, horrible death. Shroud, need I point out that firefox is also free, and certainly much more functional?
@Blackhole- I, too experience this phenomena with Firefox taking quite a long time to start up. I think (not totally sure) I read about this somewhere, and I think it has to do with how FF uses memory... I'd give their homepage a gander to get the real reason.

Not to mention that the default setting will warn you when you are about to close multiple tabs should you attempt to close Fx.

my Firefox takes under 5 seconds to load (I just timed it, more than once) and i load 4 tabs as home pages - Google, Al-Jazeera, TLR and Wikipedia. You prob haven't tweaked your settings. How much cache have you given it, and how frequently does it update the cache? I give mine 2000mb as opposed to the default which is about 50 i think? Also check how it automatically connects to the internet, and how it handles coookies.
also if you use certain themes or extentions, they can slow it down a bit. I use "Brushed" and Tab Mix Plus, nothing else.

Now the army of bird-men is really doomed. Vista and IE 7? Disaster.
About firefox loading times... I have mine set to not record history and cache any files at all... since I've got cable internet it makes a negligible difference on speed without gobbling up resources (I've heard also that FF caches pages to memory rather than the hard drive)... could this be causing increased loading times? (for the application itself, not pages). I'm using just about the most pedestrian of visual schemes, so that shouldn't be an issue.

IE7 is MORE secure in Vista, not less. Vista enables Protected mode, which prevents anything in the web browser to affect the main operating system in any way, using a virtual cache of files.
There are other useful features vista enables IE7 to do, as i found when i was beta-testing Vista over the summer. Its 2:00 AM though so i can't remember them :<

While IE may not be a satanic browser, it certainly harbors no advantages over firefox.
Hah. IE shielding the operating system from malicious things on the internet? That's a good one. I'll believe it when I see it.
Perhaps they use a system like this?
