Must be embarrassing for MS, eh? I had thought that IE8 had cured all former issues with the previous versions....even though I don't use it myself. Perhaps I was mistaken.

I personally don't use IE, my reasoning is that it seems to bloated. I'm crossing my fingers that FF doesn't succumb to this.

I started using IE, but I quickly changed my mind, 'cause they don't have a decent adblock available. Also, the fact that its benchmark is so much lower, compared to every other major browser. I've decided to start using Google Chrome, even after being a Firefox user for many years, and as of right now, I'm not regretting my decision.
