    :) I was mainly referring to the fact that a download of IE at one time was 40-80mb (thumbsucked values). Where FF 1.0 was only 4-5mb, which still seems rather big for 'something that renders web pages'.

    Searching the web without Google is like straining sewage with your teeth.

    Yes but remember that was about 80% operating system updates. They used to use the I.E. setup as the main vehicle to distribute underlying operating system updates. I'm pretty sure it's all broken out now. Honestly, most of the criticism IE gets is unfair or biased just because it's Microsoft.

      Nope. But what I'm saying is that if I.E. is the predominant web browser (and I know it is at least from our own website logs) then why should the standard not be what IE supports? Answer: because the standards people are unhappy with someone else setting the standard. You guys are barking up the wrong tree. If the other browsers implemented as I.E. implements there would be no need for you to pull your hair out trying to support arcane w3c recommendations for those other browsers.
