Comments from those who selected Internet Explorer as one of their Top 10 Tools in 2008

  • "Yes, Firefox is ranked number one on the Top 100 list. I have tried using Firefox for a few months early 2007, but I suppose I have gotten too used to IE and its "Favorites" management. I simply find it difficult quitting IE. I suppose after all these years using IE as my main browser to the knowledge galaxy, it is difficult to let go. Though, I have both of them running on my PC, so I suppose sooner or later I will join the Firefox bandwagon (when it conquers IE in my mind)." Zaid Alsagoff

  • " for personal research and learning"  Rebecca Jones

  • "it does the job, and I have don't have to tinker with it. I am experimenting with Firefox, though, so who knows what I might submit for my tools next year?"  Don Taylor

Comments from those who selected Internet Explorer as one of their Top 10 Tools in 2007

  • "the improvements such as tabbed browsing mean that it has caught up with Firefox"  Clive Shepherd

  • "I don’t care if my machine is a Mac or a PC, and I don’t really care if the code is proprietary or open code, all I know is that I use IE 7 for hours every day, and it works for me. I particularly like the new tabs and easy-to-use RSS feed"  Don Taylor

  • "still the best way to get around the Internet and reliably connect to every website out there"  Mike Alcock

  • "I know there are other browsers but IE7 works for me and it does what it says on the tin.  I know other browsers could probably do more but right now I don’t need the “more”."  Vaughan Waller

  • "Like Blogger in that space, I realize that many others have moved on to other, arguably better browser applications (Firefox most notably). But I still use IE, and with the new features in IE7 (many of which pre-existed elsewhere), I have little reason to switch right now. Thomas Stone

  • "Along with Google Search and Outlook, IE is a tool I use all day every day and wouldn’t be without it."  Karen Ver
