If you are a Windows users, you might consider ditching Internet Explorer and use an alternative but equally free browser, <a href="http://opera.com">Opera</a> or <a href="http://getfirefox.com/">Mozilla Firefox</a>. Not only are these browsers better at rendering pages, but by switching you help break the monopoly Microsoft have constructed with IE – for years IE has stagnated, and developers such as ocProducts can attest to the inordinate number of development problems that occur due to Microsoft's neglect. It limits progress in a real way.
