I have firefox. I still like IE better because of better website compatibility. Speedwise they are both fast. Don't get me wrong, I think Firefox is a nice browser, it just doesn't have all of the written for IE site compatibility.
If I want tabs in IE all I have to do is use MyIE2.

I don't get these problems because I don't use any MSIE-only sites, and if I need to I will just use MSIE. The only way MSIE beats Firefox for speed, is the time it takes to load, as MS IE is always in memory, and because of this Firefox (or any other non-MS browser) takes up more memory as it means loading another program.
I have find Firefox a lot faster than MSIE, I might notice this more than you because I have a shitty 5k connection.
For me security and features are more important than compatibility.
Normally MSIE-only sites are badly written and are thus shit.

Security isn't much of an issue to me with IE. I have a good hardware firewall on top of a good Software firewall that blocks all popups(NPF 2004) on top of a decent software firewall(Windows firewall).
I don't stray to porn and warez sites either so that means I'm less likely to pick up the spyware + I don't go to many stes that I don't already normally visit so I'm not very likely to stray to a malicious site that tries to explot IE or infect with a JS virus.

At the moment there is no way to disprove his postings. SP2 is still new and we have yet to see any new vulnerabilities. At this point and time there is no way to prove wether it is going to do any good or not. He is posting that it isn't any good with no proof to back the statement up whatsoever.

The whole idea of sevice packs is bad.
Why is it so difficult for MS to show everything what's in it.
You get 2 choices:
*Blindly accept everything.
*Fuck off and leave your system unprotected.

Yes! Fuck Mozilla!
It dosn't support scrollbar CSS witch is a W3C standard!
IE has many great MS only tags hence it's the only browser that can render proper html.
