There are a lot of questions why we don't use Internet Explorer and actualy hate the damn thing.
To give some more specific details why click on read more for full details.
PNG and JPEG2000 are image formats with better compression and cool features.
IE doesn't support those and for full info about that read here
Tabbed browsing, popup blockers, security, etc. are very essential these days due to all ads and malicious websites. IE doesn't have that build in so you need to buy additional software to prevent it.
A full list of "can't do" (for example Mozilla vs IE) can be found here
Then about Direct-X and Active-X, it's nice you can use those in IE so you update your Windows OS with ease, but.. other people can abuse it by installing malicious software on your computer.
Generating a webpage costs the average IE browser about 75% more time and CPU then a other browser.
IE doesn't fully support CSS and XHTML which are the new standards to build a webpage.
When your OS boots IE is already loaded in memory which causes a more unstable system and can give you more "blue screens of death"

If not, you probably don't wanna learn how a new browser works or just love IE.
No hard feelings for that, but don't ask why something doesn't work or looks ugly in IE |
