Tom, I must admit that I don't even know what it is.  If it help to shine the dome, I'm interested!!

I was forced into buying a new laptop this week (Toshiba Satellite) and I'm very happy with it.  Came with Windows 7 which is much friendlier to use than the Vista that was on the HP that croaked.  The new one also has IE9 on it - in my limited use it has performed well. Somethings are different in appearance but it has been fairly simple to adapt to.

In all honesty, the only thing I use IE for is Windows updates. For everything else, I use Firefox, or Google Chrome. I have zero confidence in IE - and FF is faster, more secure, more customizable, and just all-around better than IE in every way.

Chrome and Firefox >>>>>>>>>>>> IE9 and it's not even close.

As a web professional I advise avoiding IE. It gets better and better with each revision, but that's like saying "my sh*t stinks less every time".

It has nothing to do with usability -- which is something each of you can decide upon on your own -- but rather with security concerns.

Right, and then there is the old one about "If you can't say anything nice don't say anything at all."

Yep Tom, some people just can't help themselves. Talk about opinionated. Since we're now on to sayings, how about this one: "the only stupid question is the one you don't ask".

Tom, if you only wanted to hear positive opinions, why did you even ask the question?
