I think the Microsoft answer is no, and IE is integrated very tightly with XP as far as I know. Plus there are still sites which don't work too well (or at all) with Firefox because although html is meant to be a cross platform standard, it sometime isn't, well, standardOnne wrote: Can I just remove IE completely from my PC?
I would keep it Onne...some pages won't work in FF....although most designers nowadays use it as standard....so you'll need it for thoseOnne wrote:Firefox does indeed work a treat! I have been using it a couple of days, no problems whatsoever, it even feels quicker than IE.

Usually 'cos the mighty Microsoft have introduced something which they think should be standard, but not bothered telling/asking the people who actually compose what is the standard... bit of a pain when companies (like the builders of Poser - all of them!) set up sites to sell you their software at considerable discount, and forget to make them so that they actually work with any operating system other than Windows. And then don't reply to emails when you point this out.

A cynic might suggest the Microsoft way of bending and ignoring cross platform standards, given their market share, is to ensure more people use their "standards", and all developers have to buy their software...bigginger wrote: Usually 'cos the mighty Microsoft have introduced something which they think should be standard, but not bothered telling/asking the people who actually compose what is the standard... bit of a pain when companies (like the builders of Poser - all of them!) set up sites to sell you their software at considerable discount, and forget to make them so that they actually work with any operating system other than Windows.
