Why Microsoft did the right thing in ditching XP for IE9

Upgrade or die.

I enjoy those Firefox jibes, but I observe them the way I observe Mac jibes.

If you want to use software unsupported by 75% of the web sites, it's a lot like using an OS unsupported by 75% of the software developers.

I'm a fan of open source, but the fact remains most web sites are still written to M$ standards.

It's very rare to find a site that won't load in Firefox. Older versions perhaps struggled to load sites that were not coded to W3C standards and lazily only tested with IE but that's really not much of an issue anymore. I can't tell you the last time Firefox struggled for me.

Where Firefox really rules is customization with plugins.

I'll acknowledge that IE has gotten much better the last few years, even faster than previous versions. I keep an updated copy on my computer "just in case" but I rarely need it anymore.
