I really do, not only is it a lousy system that ;lags behind other browsers in all the cool features, it is riddles with easy access for viruses.
I am not a careless person, in general I stick to sites unlikely to harbor ill intent, and when down loading I follow reasonable precautions.
But I still get a virus on occasions. Right now I have a virus trying to convince me to run a virus scan..which when checked allows the virus to download other nasty stuff (just cause it looks a good deal like Microsoft doesn't mean it is) I only have to deal with this virus when I work on IE..which I only have to do for scout work. I would really prefer them to reconfigure their website to accept Firefox. but since I gather the website is volunteer run, I don't really get to complain.
But I am anyway aren't I...
I hate IE

Rumor has it that IE7 is actually pretty solid. It probably is but I wouldn't know either. I'm a Firefox guy. My software has to be cross-platform, so IE wouldn't work for me anyways, even if it turns out to be superior.
I actually like Safari and Chrome a whole lot too, but won't use those only because they're not available on Linux. (I know, Chrome is, but still in early beta stage.)
But yeah, earlier IEs, I wouldn't touch with a 10-foot pole.
