:and why you are a fool if you still use Internet Explorer

What will follow I hope will be an enlightenment in web browsing for all that read this thread
it all starts by going here and downloading Firefox.

http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/

My man ToD will help with the addons and plugins
in future comments

IE7

http://apcmag.com/7282/can_ies_architect_explain_why_its_so_bloated

Q: "Despite relying on Windows to provide many capabilities, a standard download for IE7 weighs in at 15MB, compared to Firefox's comparatively slimline 6MB. What's that about?"

Answer: SPYWARE

Q: "OK, I'll try another tack. Given that the most obvious change in IE7 was the introduction of tabs, a feature rather obviously filched from Firefox, what feature from a rival browser would Wilson most like to adopt next?"

Answer: just make a Firefox plugin that replaces the Firefox with the internet explorer icon.

but seriously whats that other 9 MBs about?
