Hahahaha....dude we don't need it! I'm a Microsoft person 100%, but creating something we already have is useless! We have Firefox! The FLAWLESS web suite. It's awesome enough. I can't imagine IE matching and beating it by 200%(that is the % required to warrent a switch). That's just not right. Reinvesting the wheel is actually a sin.

Firefox is nice but far away from being superior to IE (or any other borwser). Both are pretty much on par (in different fields tho). And there's is actually no Webbrowser that is flawless.

David:

You're always entitled to your opinion of course, just as I'm entitled to mine. I do tend to agree more with Bjorn - FireFox is nice (for one it already has a better handle on open standards like CSS and PNG), but no web suite (heck, no software application, Open or Closed source) is "flawless" and there are a lot of people, both inside and outside Microsoft, who who do think that releasing a new version of IE *is* worth the effort.

PS: As an aside, you might want to consider all assumptions generally before typing -- for example, I'm most definitely not a "dude" ... dude. ;-)

I response to David Betz, I think 90% of the market will appreciate it.

Well, obviously, John doesn't.

<kidding>

We can tell this is true because he took that extra half a minute out of his day to make sure the rest of us knew that the topic was completely beneath his notice.

All kidding aside, I care - if for no other reason than that providing an even more secure version of IE to the general public makes the entire internet that much safer for everyone. The harder it is for the Bad Guys(tm) to expliot *any* specific internet facing software, the smaller the problems become for the whole internet community.

And, presumably, at least *some* of the people responsible for the more positive of the 647 comments[*] against Dean's post at the IE Blog also care. ;-)

I personaly believe that Internet Explorer is smoother than any other web browser. If you check the new Netscape 8 Beta -you'll see that you can change the page format that you see between Netscape and Internet Explorer! We are talking about one of the leading Browsers in here -Surely FireFox is pretty good, but we shouldn't talk about security in here... have you seen Ocean's 12? Everything can be cracked!
