Yawn……………………

Internet Explorer has always been a pain my backside, no offence to Microsoft and without getting too technical it just doesn’t support all the standards in web coding it should.

So why are we blogging on about this?

Well things are taking longer than they should be, because we have to test site designs in both IE and firefox, I know there are other browsers out there, but these two are the biggies We’re interested in at the moment.

A site can and it’s design can look fantastic in Firefox, but boot up Internet explorer and it’s a whole different ball game, well I’m sorry to say but we won’t spend hundreds of hours supporting IE, as they (MS) should be spending that time getting it right.

I will say one thing though and that’s Internet Explorer version 7 seems to be a lot more positive, yay they support positions like fixed in this one.

So if you won’t consider changing browsers, then please I beg of you upgrade to Internet Explorer 7.

And for those of you wanting to make a positive move and get a decent browser, I personally love FireFox, and best of all it’s free.

Ohh and if OutLook Express then why not consider Thunderbird, from the same guys that do Mozilla/Firefox and yes thats also free.

mmmm Free software, perhaps we should list a few, lol

Ok so you don’t like Microsoft Office, or you find it too expensive, if so then consider Open Office it’s FREE and supports all MS file extensions too.

There’s tons of free and open source software, all spy-ware free (be careful to check this out before using anything on your computer). If you have some recommendations then please let me know.

If you contemplating using Microsoft Vista, then perhaps you should take a look at the following links:
