The report suggests that people using Explorer, the built-in, default browser for Windows-based computers, may be more resistant to change.

IE users resistant to change? Doubtful as he points out it's the default browser on all Microsoft based machines. If Firefox or Chrome were the defaults would he label the people that kept using them as resistant to change? The majority of people use IE because they just don't know about other browsers.
Seems to me to be another "I use something different and normal people are sheep" article that one sees all the time on the internet.

I was told that as the most popular browser more nasties out there were designed to target it, unlike other broswers.

Don't know, I decided to upgrade to 8 and it seems pretty simple. My toolbar has file, edit, view, favorites, tools, and of course help. Besides that there's nothing really there unless I decide to open up another window or another tab. I like the spell check in Firefox though, that's a really welcome feature as opposed to opening google in a tab.

It's a Microsoft search engine.

It seems fine as a person's name but if I was going to set up a search engine I would want to try and think of a cool catchy name.

Bing just seems lacking. Mind you Twitter hardly sounds brilliant and it has taken off (pun not intended)]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/386447/3137461.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/386447/3137461.page GMT Internet Explorer users are dummies.

Firefox, really?

I don't understand all the love for Firefox... when I used it, it wouldnt load sites correctly and so I got it the hell of my machine.

Google Chrome seems to have too many holes where stuff that is useful used to be.

But on a serious note. I respect that for a lot of people it seems so much simpler (and satisfactory) to stay with the default browser, be it IE, safari, or firefox (ubuntu etc). But from my experience, pretty much everyone finds the alternatives superior in some way, and I think this is partially due to a prolonged focus on the downsides of their default browser (and possibly due to a will to be perverse).

And for the record, I am using Chromium (OMG so perverse!)]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/386447/3138169.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/386447/3138169.page GMT Re:Internet Explorer users are dummies. HP Media server at work, Chrome feels it needs to download something, but nothing happens, IE goes straight in. On the other hand, IE seems to kick off more graphic card errors.
