Well, clearly the reason he prefers The Internet Explorer 8 over The Firefox or The Chrome is because he doesn't actually use his web browser for looking at webpages, he just clicks all the buttons and menus around the screen. And since IE8 has the most buttons/menus... ;D

It also doesn't help that his computer is lightning fast.

That's funny, I was just reading this (http://www.cnn.com/2011/TECH/web/07/29/internet.explorer.dumb/index.html).  :P

Thanks a lot for the article Quigibo, I loved this "Users of Internet Explorer 6, released in 2001, scored the lowest on the tests, at just over 80.".

I actually liked IE 8.
Don't get me started on IE 9. :P

Ew IE8. I prefered IE7 in terms of functionality and speed, but I much prefer IE9 when it comes to using MS browser. IE8 was so friggin slow and CPU intensive on my other computer. IE7 was much faster, although page rendering was even worse than IE8. IE9 does a decent job at rendering pages and I got a better computer, so now I don't mind it much, but I think I'll stick to Opera and Firefox. (I only use FF when a site doesn't work in Opera, which is more and more rare)

Ew, IE, in general. :P

I still wonder why Microsoft cares so much about competing in the browser wars. There's not that much profit in it, considering the users have to buy windows either way, and IE is unlikely to sway a Mac buyer. (I'm not even going to bring up Linux on that point :P)
