One of the advantages of using IE is you have time to make a cup of tea while it loads a web page, you also get to play 'bat the popup' where you try and hit close before the malicious code has change to execute.
If you get bored with that (or if you're rich and have SP2), just surf around with IE for a while and before you know it you'll have loads of IE windows running - the fun then is to try and find the window with the correct history (you know, the one you were 'in') before the system crashes.

10 million downloads in a little over a month thats (..thinks..) ... a lot per hour.

Microsoft have been so lazy in adding features and improvements to the (once promising) IE that it has become an absolute dog of a browser.

Firefox has gained so much popularity so quickly - I think the quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog.
