I thought you were joking about IE. I fired up IE to check it out and after dealing with all the parasitic apps that placed a toolbar into IE the browser was pretty quiet. Using IE means I'd have to chase windows software updates. I only update my windows boxes about once a year -- about the same schedule as changing the smoke alarm batteries. I rarely ever update apps. Got rid of the firefox update BS but there was some tom foolery involved. Had to manually delete some files in Firefox' AppData directory.
