Add the richness of Firebug as a dev tool, the rapid updates, etc., and IE feels more and more what the Luddites use. It's analogous to having MSN as your home page because you never realized you could change it. It is definitely frustrating when I have to write a separate version of my web app for IE7 -- and the same code works pretty much identically in Webkit and FF.

(Only God knows why) Because I've been using Google for many years now, and I don't see any valid reason to switch I.S.P.,s so I plan to continue to use Google. I do need to know, however if I.E.8 is an upgrade worthy of taking because I.E. 7 seems to work very well for me. Specifically what does I.E.8 bring to the table that I.E.7 does not have?
