Just found you in my refferal long and wanted to say hey, couldnt find my link on your site though, weird =)

Hi, i'am a .Net web developer with a MCAD certification.
First at all, the big difrences between IE and other browsers is that it supports every protocoll witch is available for javascript, vbscripts, old style codes, the new style codes(W3C), webforms, objects, applets and DOM refrences. The rest like ASP.NET/PHP and such kinda modules are part of the webserver. Plus microsoft also thinks about the people who don't understand all of this realy good and gives some reactions on code so that the programmer don't have to think verry difficult. Like when you give a window.location a parameter the site will directly refresh. This wasn't the real purpose because you need to give a location en write after that window.replace('url') and not reload because than your cache will not be read but refilled. It's a litle example on how microsoft wan;t to support everything so that you have a standard or you can call it a big pile of shit. But the most important thing is it works. And i can write a spyware program for mozzila, firefox or netscape with no problem, the only reason it doesn't happens is because of the amount of users.

So i don;t think that you can give IE a disrespect because it handles alot of rules in a time a otherbrowser would dream of.

I call bullshit.

IE is a browser. I don't want it to do all these extra things. You can take ActiveX and throw it away. It's insecure. I want a browser that will serve up my HTML pages, and follow the specs put forth. I don't want seventeen other things.

IE sucks, and I so know I'm not alone in thinking this. It's the entire world that hates that damn browser.

And as far as I know, spyware is installed on the OS, not the BROWSER. It just so happens that this piece of shit, insecure browser allows easy access for spyware to be installed.
