It's not 1997, it's 2008, and if you have half a brain you can keep your system clean with minimal effort regardless of what browser you use.

Says you. Did for me. My point is that IE is not evil and Firefox is not the holy grail of browsers. IE is not a relic like the lava lamp you might have in your basement. Works fine for a lot of people who keep up with updates and their security.

>I remember IE crashing a couple times every week. Sometimes bringing down the whole desktop and explorer.exe.

Not had that problem. Not sure why, but like I said, I keep up with scans, etc on the OS.
