Internet Explorer isn't that bad of a browser. I use IE9 and it's OK. I agree though that one needs multiple browsers installed in a workplace environment. "
In fairness, I've not tried IE9. But I've disliked all of the versions I've ever used and I used to find (maybe it's not the case any more) IE seemed to pose the most security risks. Yes, Chrome maybe anal about security now, but I appreciate that it's trying to look out for me.
However, I have my trusted browsers and I am still paranoid about IE and have no reason to change my browser. When it comes to work and using a computer that is not my own, I'll have to deal with it. But in all fairness, the computer at my last job was sluggish and IE7's bloatedness really didn't help and I found if I needed to use the Internet for anything other than sending an email, it'd take me forever. Also, it didn't like Acrobat Reader, so loading PDFs was the other pain. At least MS Word, Outlook, Excel and IQX all worked swimmingly and most of the time that's all I needed for that job thank goodness.
When I did work experience for a newspaper though, I was really pleased because their computers had Firefox and I was ecstatic.

Believe me, I do.
