Indeed, man...I can't imagine how some people can live using IE & Windows Explorer...it's like using a bike on the highway and wonder why everybody is passing by so fast ;)

Anyway, let's help the man...if you really love IE and don't want to try "exotic" things like Opera or FireFox, I suggest to get an IE-based browser like www.maxthon.com or www.avantbrowser.com. They are both free and much much better than IE.

That's still the same crappy IE with a fancy dressing!

Basically, you're right, but they have a lot of functionality added too, like popup and script blockers, multi tabbed interface and more.
Better a bit better than worse :)
