i don't need all that fancy graphic and complicated interface. all i need is a simple, easy to use, low resource usage kind of internet browser. firefox works well for me but it does consume lots of resources sometimes.

I think they should just shorten the name to MS Explorer. It would be much more symbolic...

Anyway, the new browser doesn't look too bad, but still I'm betraying Safari or Firefox for MS Explorer lol.

And then you have to download a real  browser.

LOL~! So many interesting names! I think the best would be "ぜったい IE". Because, after all, IE=いえ=NO.
@Nathan, Sounds interesting, if it really were the name of an anime title.
