- dmix 18y agoYeah really, computers are MAINSTREAM. That means you have to sacrifice a lot to compensate for the large amount of casual/new users. My dad knew that the blue E is internet and Google helps you find web pages. He's been using a computer for a while now and doesn't care what a browser or a search engine is. But he does listen to me when I tell him Google + Firefox are the best.

- rory096 18y agoYes it does. You'd be shocked at how fast I've seen some people complain that IE was easier when they get the import favorites dialog during FF installation. They don't even bother to read it and see if it's easy, they just see it requires work and want to go back to whatever they were using before.
