I use IE about 5 hours a day, and develop on it too, and I've found no problems with it. Patch your OS and everything will work just fine. Why would I want a "better" browser? I don't subscribe to the "slag-off Microsoft and be cool" brigade. I judge as I see it, and don't go off what other people day.

I'm not cool because I slag off Microsoft. :-) I use Opera for whatever page design and building I do. It's much less forgiving of errors.

As a web developer I find that IE is currently the best at both CSS and HTML rendering, although it isn't perfect. Nowadays I only use CSS for formatting (and pretty much everything) and Netscape has some blatant bugs that should IMO have been fixed by now.

Er, I've just did a small test of browsers and IE was the only one that had a blatant and glaring error with background-attachment: fixed. The others (Mozilla, Netscape, Firefox and Opera) had some problems with more obscure parts of CSS. Check richinstyle.com or meyerweb.com for CSS:edge.

PS Hey, where have you been? You don't come around Bryce forum anymore.
