Version: Internet Explorer 6 Service Pack 1
Pros: None.
Cons: The problem is that is unstable and insecure. The product can't be re-installed if there is a problem. You can't even remove from the control panel. Also, if you have toolbars, IE will get mad and crash. Also, having toolbars is a bad idea because your browser won't even work. Also, I wish that they could just have a disc with the computer that has IE on it as a seperate thing or cheap in stores to buy it. Also, the cursor disappears when you type. I'm never going to do my shopping online with it. Some keylogger might steal my info and guess what browser is mostly likely for that to happen? Internet Explorer. The world's most outdated browser in history.

"Not Very Good Internet Broser Package."
Pros: You can brose the internet.

Version: Internet Explorer 6 Service Pack 1
Pros: -With Google tool bar it blocks some pop ups
-There are a few sites that can be seen only by IE (an attempt to destroy the opposition)
-It's easier than some other browsers to use it, mainly because of its lack of features.
Cons: -No tabbed browsing
-No skins
-No pop-up blocker
-Security issues
-No features
-Can NOT be deleted
And many many other problems. Some can be fixed if you use plug ins, but then IE gets unstable and new problems occur. If you want a browser with a better skin and some better features try Slim Browser (or Maxthon or Avant). If you want a browser that fixes all (or almost all) the problems listed above use Firefox (or Opera or even Netscape).

"unsecure and not full featured"
Pros: As it integrates into Windows, it starts very quickly.
Cons: It is well known to be vulnarable to spyware attack. It does not block pop-ups. It is also slower than competition when accessing web pages. Finally, it has just some basic features. I recommend Firefox as a first option, and Opera as second. All other software relies on Internet explorer, and thus has the same vulnerability.

"The most hated program on earth"
Pros: Does not cause cancer. It ends there.
Cons: Ok, where do I start? Well, first off Firefox is infinetly better, IE is "integrated" into your system and cannot be removed, certain programs REQUIRE you to have IE installed (Disk Defragmenter, of all things, won't work in XP if you screw the IE registry), freakin' "Links" folder never goes away, security holes beyond all belief, Firefox is better, Firefox is better and one more thing:
FIREFOX IS BETTER!!!!
