# Just installed it myself. I don't like the feel of it. Sure, a few nifty features, but Firefox is better for me.

# I find IE easier and more flowing to use

# Haha, who cares. Use what you like. They're all using standard formatting anyway so the difference on webpages is going to be negligable.

# Oh I so want you to be right though
I really do.
Google the words "IE box model hack".

# I don't like IE because
the text antialiasing is horrible, and makes it look like my screen is dirtydirtier

probably disableable though.

# Because
It's slow.

Opera is clearly the best out there, since Google has nicked all its features. :)

# Last time I tried firefox and opera,
IE ran much faster than they did. Admittedly that was a couple of years ago.

# IE6?
That was a nightmare. IE7 is a massive improvement but IE6 utterly refused to conform to web standards, so you had to code around its problems, so the whole internet was slower as a result.

There's some truth in there :)

# I have a feeling I changed straight from 5 to 7.
