You were saying, oliciv? Oh, right, I can't hear you. Let's see you killfile me using your precious IE.
EDIT: And while you're trying to figure that one out, why don't you think about fixing your site. For some unknown reason, it no longer realizes that I'm using FireFox to access it, and that nice pretty red line of text magically doesn't appear.

Those articles you reference to are 4, 7 and 11 months old.
I didn't get good grades at Dutch, but I do know that for a source to be 'valid', the information has to be up to date.
Basically, you've got nothing.
Furthermore, why the heck would you (or anyone else) care which browser OTHER people use?

You used to be cool. Now you're backing Windows...

It could just be me but basing your zealotry for one product on the behaviour of some, not all, of the users of another product is somewhat silly. Surely, such reasoning would only lead to your being anti Firefox rather than pro IE?

Well I do also like the IE browser, there are other alternatives I could be using if I was simply anti Firefox
If we're talking about technical reasons then the absolutely dreadful default security arrangements would be my major reason for not liking Windows. Close runner ups would be the broken device handling and filesystem layouts.
You can laugh all you want but I've had to do some terrifying things with ACLs under Windows to get programs such as AutoCAD to run without administrator rights. Such widely used programs requiring such shoddy setup is largely, but not entirely, the fault of Windows' broken default security.

Would you blame Linux if you couldn't run a third party application that required root access?

If the Linux distro it was intended for made users root by default and had remained that way for years, yes, in that case I would most definitely blame the distro (at least partially).
Fortunately the idea that users should be an administrator by default seems to not have spread very far beyond Windows.
