Firefox runs on Windows doesn't it? What's so wrong about them publishing something about IE? iTunes runs on Windows - I'm sure they've mentioned that software before in the magazine.

I personally have used both and like IE better. It's simple and fast, what more do you want? Should a company NOT be able to bundle it's own software together? If I made a printer shouldn't I be able to bundle printer software of my choosing? If I made a computer with Internet capabilities shouldn't I bundle an Internet browser with it? It is the user's choice whether they want to use IE or not, don't call MS evil because people are unable to download and install a browser of their own choosing. And don't tell me that, "Well they don't realize they can because IE is already installed." Well if said user is too dumb to realize they can install software on their PC other than what came with it, what makes you think they'd be smart enough to install ANY software to begin with?
