Strong criticism of the article ... could be deleted if not fixed
This article could be expanded a great deal. I'd like to know about the history of IE, and its place in the history of the [[web browser]] in general.
*What about the fight with Netscape Navigator?
*How popular is it, and how would we measure its popularity if they simply give it away with each copy of Windows?
*:If you don't buy a Mac, you get IE preinstalled. Most users don't even know how to download and install new software, so staying with what it came with doesn't mean much.
*What are its security problems, in more detail? Why hasn't Microsoft addressed these? Are there solutions or alternatives?
*Most interesting would be the web standards aspect. How about the [[CSS box model]], for example? Or the need for [[JavaScript]] programmers to write every piece of code twice: once for IE, plus once for FireFox and other standards-compliant browsers.
This article is lightweight and haphazard. I'm going to delete it if no one helps me fix it up. Better to have nothing, than something this lame. --[[User:Ed Poor|Ed Poor]] <sup>[[User talk:Ed Poor|Talk]]</sup> 15:35, 16 August 2011 (EDT)
