I don't know about anyone else, but I'd say that my computer experience is mature (nearly 20 years), Mozilla/Firefox is far better than IE (despite praises from IT people - are they really people?). Only rarely do I ever get popups (as compared to IE popup heaven), it has "tabbed browsing" (poor sucky IE), and handles just about everything that IE does (yes, there are areas where it won't work, but I can tolerate IE when absolutely necessary - about once every couple months at best). Plus, I get it on Windows and MacOS (where I can use the same bookmarks and settings). Not that I think IE totally sucks, just that, as has been pointed out, it's M$, it's under a constant barrage of attack. And it sorely (as in two years ago) needs tabbed browsing. I don't know what tweaks were performed (and, o'boy, wouldn't it be just amazing if these oh-so-special IT guys didn't), but Mozilla/Firefox are highly configurable. Yo, IT guys, SysAdmins kick your A$$!! (or, your base belong to us). ;)

C makes it easy to shoot yourself in the foot. C++ makes it harder, but when you do, you blow your whole leg off.
