I find all of these anti-MS/IE rants or reports simply stupid. A small two bit firm in Canada has decided to try and get some cheap publicity and you guys have fallen for it hook, line, and sinker.....
I use IE/MS and have no problems saying so, I find the alternatives even worse - liked only by people who jump on bandwagons:
Apple: completely focussed on asthetics, no substance and often technically inept (if you can't read that sentence properly its probably because you were holding your iPhone improperly and the signal went - silly!). Oh, and to afford any of the products you have to have more money than sense......
Google: Doesn't do evil......hmmmm photo of your house anyone? Have a unsecured wi-fi network you've forgotten to password protect - dont worry Google have catalogued this for you on their great (hacked) server in the sky. But you dont have to email them directly to complain - they're reading your private emails so they already know how you feel!
I'm not saying MS are the best thing since sliced bread but at least they are not out to steal your data or charge you a fortune for a locked system. Love them or loathe them you have to acknowledge that without them the world would be a different place today; no Windows, Office or IE?? Computers with a myriad of standards and operating systems, completely incompatible and user interfaces infinitely harder to use - no thanks, I'd rather have MS for all their faults they've done wonders for our society and business environment.
Oh, and for the record I'm a comparatively competant computer user, building systems, programming in VBA & C++, etc...maybe the users we have to worry about the most are those who find such enjoyment in these surveys!
