You wouldn't also be one of those people that can somehow quote the bible in a like manner to prove how it says to beat up gay people and to rape women would you? It's intentionally misleading citations like Christopher's that really piss me off.

It actually reads:

“Internet Explorer 8 has much more functionality than other browsers, and its functionality is there from the moment you open the browser.”

Then in a completely separate paragraph it reads:

“Did you know that there are more than 1,700 Internet Explorer 8 add-ons available at the Add-ons Gallery, with more being added every day?”

Nice job changing the context, Christopher. You wouldn't also be one of those people that can somehow quote the bible in a like manner to prove how it says to beat up gay people and to rape women would you?

As funny as the fact chart is, my favorite is on the myth busting page. It says "Myth #3: Firefox is a richer, more adaptable browser than Internet Explorer." The "truth" is that "Internet Explorer 8 has much more functionality than other browsers.... Did you know that there are more than 1,700 Internet Explorer 8 add-ons available at the Add-ons Gallery" I knew this wasn't true, so I went to the Firefox addons site to find out how many they have, and I found this: "153,906,262 [individual] add-ons in use" Explain that, Microsoft! One word – HA!
