And Hitler built the Autobahns, shouldn't we say thanks to him for that?

Also the rebels where never able to build something as marvelous as the Death Star :-)

Success, efficiency and morality are three different things. Though many people mix them up all the time. If someone (or something) is efficient and successful that doesn't mean we should overlook the harm (or good) it is doing.

Hitler? That's where you want to go in a thread about web browsers? Maybe it's time to switch to decaff.

Oops, you've gone and invoked Godwin's law:

What an excellent retort.

So exactly, what harm IE did to your delicate soul?

Me personally is pretty happy it killed the buggiest and shittest browser ever lived - Netscape4

After it killed it's rival, development practically stopped for several years, and the progress of the web stopped with it.

You know how everybody hates AT&T and Verizon for not bothering to make a better service because they essentially have no competition? That's the same reason I dislike IE.

Actually.. Hitler didn't built any Autobahns :)

According to that link, he didn't invent them. They're not claiming he didn't play a role in building them.

Titling the article as a "Myth" smacks of about.com linkbait.
