For heavy internet use, no version of IE has ever proven itself to be worthy of using over its freeware competitors. Firefox users belittle IE users. Opera users belittle Firefox users. Safari users belittle anybody who doesn't have an Apple logo on the back of their computers. I think everybody should try for themselves - sure, IE has come a long way since 4.0, but when compared with the feature-rich alternatives, there's little to draw the serious user towards it. The IEtab extension in Firefox has pretty much removed the need ever to upgrade from IE6, in my opinion. But I totally agree - for SEO purposes, the sheer adaptability of Firefox, thanks to its huge selection of add-ons, makes it the best choice for this line of work. I won't be downloading IE8, least of all trying out the Beta. I learned that much from Windows Vista. How about a future post where you talk about some of the best SEO extensions for Firefox, Alex? :) I do believe that the important battle is not between IE and Firefox, but between IE and all other 3rd party browsers.
