Replacements for Explorer Due to its integration with Windows, Microsoft Internet Explorer (and its cousin MSN Explorer) dominates the market for Web browsing software. That same integration has also caused Windows and IE to be the most insecure pieces of commercial software on earth, with new security holes and viral problems reported almost on a weekly basis. Lab tests also show that Internet Explorer's integration with Windows slows down the entire system since IE code loads for every task - even ones that do not involve the Internet. While each version of IE does seem to improve over the last, each new version also comes with a new set of problems - the latest releases are inextractably tied to Microsoft's other interests (Media Player and the MSN family of Web sites) so anyone using IE is forced to work with (or around) other products and services they may have little or no use for. Internet Explorer also relies on some proprietary HTML tags that will not work in other browsers, making the fragmentation of Web standards worse than it would be otherwise. If you care at all about speed, security, or the open nature of the Internet, Microsoft's Internet Explorer must be replaced as soon as possible.
