Great. A developer that tells me, the customer, how I want to work. Remind me not to put any business your way ...
I use IE 5.5sp2 t work 'cos it's the corporate standard although should be moving to IE6 shortly to allow me to upgrade to the latest release of the CMS we use with our corporate website. At home I have Safari for MacOS 10.2, and IE 5/mac just 'cos it's there and I can't be bothered getting rid of it. Rarely if ever use it for anything tho; Safari really showed up how slow and generally pants it is.

No it isn't; M$ got taken to court over this issue when they started claiming IE was part of Windoze 95. It took a few minutes for a couple of techies to demonstrate that IE could be unbundled from the OS. IIRC M$ is prohibited from making IE part of Windows itself, although that doesn't stop them integrating it pretty tightly, more's the pity.
