The easiest way to keep IE from starting

Why disable IE?

  1. It is a security hole. Usually crack smokers are (That last part was a joke.)
  2. Microsoft forces you to use it. - I mean really, if Microfreak forces you to use it, it's just common sense that there's something wrong with it.
  3. Firefox doesn't have certain annoying pop-ups. - Yes, all messy users get those dang things. (FYI Messy- MSIE- Microsoft Internet Explorer)
  4. I, along with everybody else, hate viruses and spyware. - Although Firefox is not completely immune- with Firefox, you don't get a virus on every single website you go to (YES MESSY - THAT MEANS YOU!)
  5. MSIE might as well either be called CIV (Computer Immunodeficincey Virus), or CAIDS (Computerized Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome.) Pretty much relating to the last reason.
  6. Firefox doesn't speak "Billyspeak," the official HTML language of MSIE.
  7. You won't miss anything - The extension IE Tab, availible from the Mozilla add-ons site, lets you view any webpage Firefox won't read because it requires messy to speak billyspeak with it.
  8. Firefox gets rid of your temporary internet files when you want it to. - see this page - that goes double if you use Windows 98 -which if you do, there are a number of unofficial updates availible - search for Windows 98 Unofficial SP2, and 98 Revolutions pack.
  9. Firefox updates itself. - Seriously, if IE updates itself at all, it's 9 months after the release.
  10. Firefox is availible all the way back to Windows 98- IE 7 & 8 Beta are incompatible with versions below XP SP2. Firefox is still availible and running on any OS today, including Linux and Mac OS/ OS X
  11. And finally, the useless but still funny reason- Microsoft wrote it, do you really need a better reason
