I know it is kind of a mantra to hate IE at some places. I do not like it much either, but I have found with the latest iterations of IE, it is now faster, reliable, and most of the high safety sites like banks and corporate webs work flawlessly with it. I'd prefer to use a single browser for my needs, and FF or Chrome have always issues with some of my key sites like my university, some banking, and some government sites. I prefer to be pragmatic, than to be a default hater of stuff, so I am trying it now.
