I'm confused. Did you guys uninstall your IE? I'm wondering how to make it so that Foxfire is my default browser so that when I check my email through MSN Messenger, it will open with FF. Is there a way to do this?
I have also removed my IE before, but honestly I don't reccomend that at all, just leave it be.. and use another browser for web. removing IE causes more problems than it solves as it is used a lot in windows desktop... Unless ofcourse you use an alternate shell in which case it probably doesn't have as big impact but it might still not be worth removing, as it's only 10mb (15 if you count it's html renderer).

I thought the only way to permanently remove IE was to remove Windows itself. I was happily computing IE-free for 20 years, then I was chained to IE for five years, and now I'm once again completely IE-free and have been for about three years now.
I still use IE and don't have a problem with it, thx tho.

Microsoft being the immortal geniuses that they are built explorer.exe and thus also IE into windows explorer. So, No you cannot uninstall IE> Just use firefox / opera / or other browser as your default and avoid ie at all costs.
I don't recommend uninstalling IE; just make sure FF is your default browser and that you avoid using Microsoft crap-apps ("crapps") that insist on using IE. Keep a core download of FF around in an archive; even if your FF gets hosed, you can just run the 5MB-or-so installer and be back up and running with some X.0.0.3-off version that will update anyway. Keep a list of your extensions, though; christ, we Firefoxfags really load up with those goddamn things.
Overall, IE is a great conspiracy against all that is right and decent in the world, and everyone should just stop using it since Gates and Ballmer clearly suck dicks. IE is just a nonstop series of serious security holes in a "crapp" that is 2 years behind on delivering what WE need as users. Codecocks like Gates and Ballmer don't give a rat's FUCK what we users need; they only want an Internet browser that the fucking corporate websites want to see. Well, FUCK THE CORPORATE WEBSITES. Firefox gave us tabbed browsing and many filtering options while Microshit's "Internet Exploder" was still chugging our RAM and crashing (taking all open browser windows with it -- hey, thanks for the hours of agony, Steve-Bill!).

I'm sick of this "just get more ram!" bullshit. My 286 did almost as much functionality-wise as my current multi-ghz machine. Yeah, really. Sure, there was no multi-tasking, but I did the mostly the same things as I do today.
Hello, fuckers, just because you can eat ram doesn't mean you should. It costs money and also reduces the number of programs you can run.
I can see it now: in another ten years programs will have minimum footprint of 1GB, but they'll just do more of the same
