Microsoft Will Pay You To Use Free Software
Microsoft Internet Explorer 8 (it's a web browser ... may even be the one you're using but knowing my readership, unlikely). It's a browser, it works .... meh. Of course Microsoft want you to use there's before Google's Chrome, Apple's Safari and those upstarts from Opera or Flock.
All of those, including Microsoft's IE, are free.
You go to any of the links above and download, install and use for free.

ReplyDelete@dave "IE mode" isn't FF. IE has to be loaded and then FF merely passes it through to the IE to render the page - think of it as IE "embedded" within FF
