A waste of hard disk space with three main functions:
1)Download viruses/spyware/adware/worms/windows updates/unwanted porn/glitches/
2)Download Firefox
3)Uploading all of your private information and getting hijacked by everything it downloads.
It seems to be a lot better at the first than the latter.

Supposedly a web browser. Responsible for 90% of revenue I recieve from service calls regarding computers infected with viruses and spyware. A useful tool for downloading Mozilla Firefox or Opera, if you don't already have them.

Internet Explorer is an insidious web browser that comes installed on Microsoft operating systems. It crashes all the time and then annoys you with prompts asking if you want to send error reports. It also has a lot of security vulnerabilities, and using it is the easiest way to get a virus, trojan, or other malware.
As if that weren't bad enough, Internet Explorer is so integrated into the system that removing it can cause major problems.

1. The best browser to download Firefox.
2. An evil browser that is intergrated in to Windows 95 with IE4 Desktop Update, Windows 98, 98SE, Windows 2000, Windows ME, and Windows XP. And Bill says it can't be removed, but it can.
3. A tool for downloading viruses, spyware, adware, and trojans.
See firefox.

"Oh my! I just got a virus! And I keep getting them! And Internet Explorer is integrated into my OS! And I just downloaded Firefox!"

A browser which people who don't know better, or are too stubborn to realise that the Internet Explorer rendering engine 'Trident' renders +80% of sites incorrectly due to very poor standards compliance, and are scared to admit defeat, or believe Microsoft is actually good at producing closed source applications, which no-one can see the source to.
Comes as part of Microsoft's flagship opersting system Windows and by default is extremely unsecure, and will allow any unsusuecting user to download dialers and many other system integrity threatening applications.
IE is the reason why I can charge companies more for developing websites so they work with IE as well as with FireFox, Opera, Mozilla, Konqueror and even the text based 'lynx' browser.
During benchmark testing, Internet Explorer takes longer to start on an AMD processor running at 1400Mhz, than popular open-source alternative FireFox, which has been optimized for use on systems running an AMD processor.

"I'm sorry, but Internet Explorer support will cost at least 50 pound extra, since I have to format all my code specially for it."
"Internet Explorer is bad because it uses a lot of proprietary HTML tags that only work in Internet Explorer in an attempt to make sites developed for Internet Explorer, not work with any other browser."
"Damn Internet Explorer and it's damned WMF exploit!"
"Internet Explorer is closed source, and developers cannot audit the code themselves to check for 'features' Microsoft have put in so they can gain users personal information. The 'WMF Exploit' was one of these 'features' that Microsoft put in to allow someone to execute code remotely on a victims PC."
"People who use Internet Explorer are most commonly people who don't know better"
"While all security issues found with FireFox have been fixed by any member or developer of the open-source community, Internet Explorer users must wait for a vulnerability to be classed as 'Critical' before Microsoft will actually do anything about it."
