I'm curious, though; how would Seamonkey fare?

Even with the loss in life compares to IE it's not like any of us are going to switch to IE.

Firefox, so to say, is good.
Adblock, so to say, is awesome.
7 minutes, so to say, is not life-or-death time difference.
When someone asks me what browser to use, so to say, I say Firefox with Adblock.
So, to say, Firefox + adblock trumps IE8.
Hell, Firefox by itself (so to say) is better than IE8.

Maybe if I spent the day looking at anime porn I would install it... ;)

@John Herrman: Personally speaking, all I use is right click + t, right click +k, ctrl+t, backspace, and that is about it. For whatever reason I can't seem to get into the other ones just because I don't use them enough.

Stop the hate, try it, if it's not for you, move on. The constant bashing of apple products is tired and played out. 90% of the haters haven't even tried out OS X, Apple products, or anything, just HATE them because it's "cool".
BTW, I don't make the apple ads, just a user, I find some of them funny, some of them are kind of pointless. I know the retort is going to be then apple should stop hating windows/pc's with their adverts.
IE (6,7,8) I hate to break it to you on all sides of the fence is a browser that is just not well liked. By developers, for many reasons. Anything, and I mean anything is pretty much better, except where some stupid ass app developer ONLY develops for it.

@beekerstudios: Because windows users get fed a load of BS about how great things like iTunes are and then they have the distinct displeasure of actually using it on a Windows machine.
Doesn't matter, though, if you want good battery life use linux and browse with Elinks (no flash for you!)

Oh, and the download link might not work anymore so test before you run it.
import os
import sys
while 1:
(tab)try:
(tab)(tab)os.system('wget [download.microsoft.com]')
(tab)(tab)os.system('rm IE8-*')
(tab)except KeyboardInterrupt:
(tab)(tab)print "Ctrl+c, exiting"
(tab)(tab)sys.exit(0)
edit: replace [download.microsoft.com] with the static link.

Nothing.
You mean other than thumb their nose at international html, xml, and browser display standards after pledging to follow them so that web designers have to develop 2 versions of every web page. One that looks OK in IE, and one that looks OK for the rest of the browsers that ARE standards compliant?
Nothing.
Where exactly would you want me to start?

I meant more the money thing comment, I don't use IE firefox and chrome and safari on the iphone.

A much more philanthropic act would be to fudge a hardrives accounting dept.

Netscape killed all browsers that ran off of Mosaic (and there were plenty) when it was created. The two browsers were IE and Netscape. Just because some guy made a browser out of his basement that only loaded 1/4 of the sites out there doesn't mean MS squished it. Opera is the only other one in that time frame that could have been affected, but it wasn't because no one used it. This had nothing to do with MS, it had to do with the fact that it didn't work and was beyond buggy.
The time frame that MS was big and bad was the mid-late 90's and in that time frame (over 10 years ago I might add) they flexed every muscle they had against Netscape and they paid for it.
It's also worth mention that we all gained from them killing Netscape as well. It a bizzaro way they are responsible for Firefox's existence. They made their own bed sorta speak which is rather ironic.
