Rob Flickenger: IE(eeeeeee)

Interesting article about the crappiness of the latest release of IE for OS X and how MS still doesn't get how Mac software should work.

I'm not using IE on OS X either, having developed a taste for Mozilla a few months back, and finding it more than sufficient. What I wish (maybe I should do some research) is that I could get it to stick as the default Web browser. I've been using nightly builds, and often what ends up happening (this is actually surmise, now that I think of it) is when I delete the old copy of Mozilla prior to installing the new, my Internet preferences revert to IE (which seems to be the "official" browser of OS X, yuck) and I gotta reset it to Mozilla. I've also been looking for a way to script this and as yet no joy. You could script the Internet prefs in OS 9 (Ah, InternetConfig! Brilliant fucking idea); can you do it in OS X? Though I am a bit scared about the idea of having to go anywhere remotely near something even resembling Applescript. Now there's an Ieeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee.
