Latest version of Internet Explorers has been improved a bit. now it seldom crashes and has a nice user interface indeed. but still it will take it long time to come in competition with Firefox or chrome. browsing and downloading speed is still same and other features are also limited.
I use this browser sometimes when I need two browsers for some reason. what surprises me is that Microsoft is one of the biggest software company but has failed so badly in making a fast and secure browser. I m quite happy with the latest version but not satisfied.
