I did try Safari for windows, beta. it was horrible.

And no, IE is not that good! It's a gateway for viruses

Computer Shopper did a review:

Firefox *****
IE ****
Opera ****
Safari **

Firefox won, hands down.

Certain websites need IE, just because the programmer wants it to, not because IE has something special.

MS update needs IE, because MS wanted users to update from IE... I think just to encourage people to use IE.

IE is awful. It's standard support is beyond second rate and the UI for IE7 is the strangest thing I have ever seen. It has a totally broken box model that makes you want to scream, grab a shot gun and catch a flight to Redmond.

There are IE only sites because IE is so broken. It does things in different ways to what the standards suggest and that means it is hard to make compatible web sites. Recently it has been fixed mainly because a good number of web developers use Firefox for development and port to IE as an afterthought.

I know which is part of the reason, I haven't used MS update in a very long time. I refuse to use IE.

There is an Extension called IE Tabs which allows you to render site like Windows Update using IE, within the FF window.

Well... at least you never need to see the accursed IE interface.

The number one reason I use FireFox is the FireBug and AdBlock Plus addons. FireBug lets me debug javascript easily, and AdBlock gets rid of those annoying flashing gif ads.
