Nope, no IE allowed on my computer(s). I have Windows 2000 without any version of IE inside.

I only like the inprivate feature on that browser even though i'm not sure how secure it is but from what i have read about its review is that other websites which you visit will not be able to see the sites you visited before and i think for a spying website it will be useful as they cannot see the sites i regularly visit and maybe hack my accounts

But overall i think yes is much faster especially RC1 version but for security reasons i most of the time use firefox

well. i'm using windows vista recently and will not buy another windows internet explore 8 later unless my vista can't fulfill my target at all.
@sinip what do you mean by "I have Windows 2000 without any version of IE inside"

windows 2000 have no IE version on it? how could this happen? i think IE always inside of windows 2000 itself already.

There are two programs that allows you to remove Windows components that are otherwise non-removable or impossible to uninstall. One is called nLite and another is called HFSLIP. Both programs can be used to integrate patches, service packs and drivers into Windows installation as well. In case of Windows 2000, I found that HFSLIP did the job better. So I made myself new installation CD with no IE, no OE and no WMP. I very often can let my PIII@800MHz with Windows 2000 to stay online for 15 days non-stop without any need to restart.

I have still doubt about the speed of Internet Explorer, I would still prefer Firefox

I won't try IE8. Because i never liked IE for browsing purpose. And that is the reason i hesitate to use the new IE. I i think it is better to stick with firefox. Till now it is having no problem for me and i am planning to use it till i get sick of firefox.

firefox is faster in my opinion, but IE can be used as an alternative. i think we should give it a try.

Ever since I've tried using Mozilla Firefox, I have never been able to use Internet Explorer as my default internet browser. Though I use IE in some occassions that I wasn't able to access a site through Firefox.
