I never thought IE6 was that bad as I could do many "tricks" with the ole program. (LOL) ;)

I never thought IE6 was all that bad either. IE7,8, and 9 were each better than the previous version, though (I'm not impressed with what I've seen and read about IE10). I alawys thought (yeah, I know, that's where I messed up) the big problem with IE6 is it is no longer supported by M$ yet a huge percentge of people are still using it making it a happy hunting ground for hackers.

I'm surprised that Win 8 ranked at only #5.

Rick, That is some critique, quite enjoyed reading it even if I didn't understand some of the earlier stuff. :)

I still have my MS Bob install disks.

... I probably shouldn't have admitted that.
