I never got what was so terrible about IE. I mean I will remain at my good old Firefox, but the negativity that IE got was always a bit overblown

The main hatred of IE comes primarily from developers which have hated how Microsoft did not conform to internet standards. Developing web sites have been and still are often a pain the ass to make work properly with IE.

Aside from that, ive never really liked IE, not necessarily because it was bad (from a user perspective), just never as good as any of the competition.

Ah, so that makes sense. Thanx for the explanation . Than its understandable. Seeing that I never worked on a site before, I never encountered those problems, but it is true, that site optimatization can be pretty mediocre on it.

I switched from IE to FireFox a long time ago, mainly because Facebook and vgchartz were always giving me trouble. When I switched a lot of sites loaded twice as fast on FireFox. Dunno how it is now, I'm not upgrading to Win 8 any time soon.
