Why would a MS Windows user need another browser (Such as FireFox) - what's wrong with IE? am I missing out on something?

For me its about 3 things: Security (IE has major security flaws), Easy2use, screw anything that's MS!

No my friend, you're not missing a thing. Especially if you have a fondness for popups, viruses, spyware, banner ads, keyloggers, trojans, worms, identity theft, Hmmmm did I miss anything? These things seem to seek out and find I.E. users. The other browsers have lots of configurable user controls, so you get only the content you want to come through.

When I used IE I would usually have 2 or 3 things of spyware applications on my computer each week, sometimes more. Haven't had any with firefox.
