You know what, screw FF and Google. Enough already. MS Local scrolls much smoother than Google's. Other than searching, Google is the like the French- Sounds great, but it's crap.
I am glad to hear that there are still loyal IE users out there. I don't love IE just because it's an MS product. I really do like IE. Firefox reminds me too much of Netscape, which I just could not stand, but on steroids. I admit that I have downloaded Firefox and tested it. I did like it, but not enough to replace IE. I think IE is lighter, loads faster and is more compliant to HTTP standards than Firefox and I guarantee that someone will have field day with my last statement.
Firefox is just a revolt for the sake of revolting. It's a phase that will pass. Who really cares who uses what browser? IE may not be as secure as Firefox right now, but that will change. It will change because IE will improve and Firefox will become vulnerable because it's becoming popular. So in essence ironically, with each person that downloads and uses Firefox, the closer Firefox comes to a security risk.
I don't care how many downloads Firefox reaches, Microsoft will not let Firefox take the majority share. The more a company and it's product threaten MS, the better and harder they come back. Firefox may continue gaining share, but the important statistic is that over 70% of these very people who are part of the 25 million downloads are running Windows, a Microsoft product that is full of security holes. So as you can see, users aren't downloading Firefox because it's more secure than IE, they are downloading because everyone else is.

WTF? HP, Warner, Universal, Toshiba, Paramount, and HBO support HD-DVD too. Get yer facts straight!

AND to also realize that over 70% of those 25 million downloads are on Windows machines. WOOT!
