I use good old Pegasus Mail for e-mail, and gaim for my IMs, of which I have the complete set, and mostly Firefox for browsing, though sometimes Netscape 8 for sites that don’t render properly under Gecko (the Mozilla rendering engine), as NS8 supports both Gecko and the IE renderer.

I use Pine, or rather PC-Pine, for my email. See http://www.washington.edu/pine/ .

That’s what comes of being brought up on Unix machines!
OTOH it does avoid some of the problems of viruses being activated unintentionally.

Kinda depends on where I am…
Work: IE, Outlook and IM
Home: IE (I know), Gmail and Trillian

Unlike a lot of people, I have no issues with IE. I like Firefox enough, but I refuse to get caught up in the religious zealotry that surrounds it. I’ll use it when I build a new system early next year – my Win2k install is well over 3 years old and I don’t like to mess with it, lest my good luck get used up and my system gets hosed.

Incidentally, I think Outlook is brilliant at most of the things that it does, *except bloody email*!

I use MSN as IM, and Gmail for my mail…I really love the web interface, I prefer it to a program.

For the record, the above Chris isn’t me.

I have never used Outlook Express, Internet Explorer sucks, and Microsoft is run by a bastard.

So there.

I think Geoff is hardly in a position to criticize the perceived tardiness of Microsoft over IE7 when his new project is already running nearly 600% behind schedule.
