I have tried quite a few different browsers, but IMHO, they are not any better. I have proper virus software and do not get viruses.

I am so used to Microsoft and so are the majorty of PC users, which means there are more people around to help when things go wrong.

My wife is a translator and most of her work is based on Microsoft products. In all the years she has been working for herself, she has never got work that isn't Microsoft based. So that would suggest that they are still the leader in the business world.

Becuase of my wife, all our machines are using Microsoft products. As I am the one that acts as suuport for my wife's machines, I need to stay linked in with what she needs.

It's different if you are not a business user and have no need to stick to standards.

I do not like people telling me what to use, when they have no idea, why I use Microsoft products and likewise I never dream of telling somebody to change their software if they have no need to you.

Hope that helps.
