I use IE, the reasons:

1) Roboform integrates with it (been using this for years), opera's password manager has never impressed me.

2) I haven't found a program yet that will automatically move my favorites into other browsers each time I open them.

3) IE (for me) seems to render html & images much faster than Opera or Mozilla.

I've edited most of the dll's related to IE, so mine does look nice as well ;)

I hate defending IE, but here it goes.

IE is prone to more spyware, invisible installs,

Turn off ActiveX, no matter what M$ says it's not your friend. :D

no download management. 

Many  free ware download managers for I.E.  Does not need to be built in, because so many available.

It may be of decent speed - however, Opera can render pages quicker than IE.

Can't say your wrong.

Opera gives you more control over your browser than IE.

I.E. has tons of setting people fail to use, because the control panel is so idiot proof that it's confusing.:D

regardless of how fast hte code is rendered, the quote from cnet says what matters, ie will display your page faster than the other browsers which means htat hte rendering speed doesn't help since your still waiting longer than ie.

ie is the only browser that supports the latest and newest html tags, along with css, it deosn't display pages wrong when you format a stylesheet how you want to, it doesn't ignore the code that every mozilla based browser does.

until i can code a site to display in ie, than open up another browser and see no changes in display i wont change, pheonix has done nothing but made the design process longer since it can't do what ie can and i have to find other ways of coding hte same effect in html.

example, open my website in ie: http://rracing.cjb.net/revo/index.php now open it in mozilla, and see how much it gets messed up.

Looks good in Phoenix too..:D

Yeah, of course if you want the best speed on XP you get IE6. Its fully integrated in the OS.

If you don't like this switch to Linux and get Phoenix.

Oh wait, you guys are in a Windows oriented forum, so you're complaining about an OS that you can't seem to ever let go of.

Bull, we have no choice, Linux is not a desktop os. It tries but is not. You should not be forced to install any software on your system you did not want and did not ask for. That goes for Linux, Windows and the Mac OS.

Mozilla is a prime example of a "standards compliance" browser. Internet Explorer is NOT, even though it may render pages better. The web is littered with proprietary HTML code from MS, which doesn't surprise me why a real standards compliant browser like Mozilla can't render pages as good. BTW, only recently has Microsoft started adhering to W3C standards. Get over it already...
