If he's running Win 7, he's got IE8. And in all honesty, IE8 is good enough to not actually merit switching if you're not already mired in firefox.

Unless you want your resident web developers making vodoo dolls of you, I strongly reccomend switching to Firefox.
While the browser is... Usable... It remains an abomination in respect to web standards.

Tsars LEAD to communism.
And then there appear communist tsars, and then "state capitalism" tsars. Some people want tsars, they're just too infantile to be masters of their own lives and ready to hand large part of their freedom to a good and fair superman.

I am the resident web developer. I use firefox, simply for firebug. But let's be blunt here - "Web standards" is an oxymoron.

When you've got every other browser at least in the same ballpark as W3C specs, and you end up writing browser detection code, and spend extra debugging time to handle Microsoft's Special Child... Yeah.

Actually, IE8 is not such an abomination in the aforementioned aspect as you seem to think. At least it supports E[attribute=value] at last, and even :before and :after ;)

Look, even if it was as bad as you say - and it's not - that still wouldn't be the case.
I'd be coding to Microsoft's Special child, and all the rest are the ones getting 'fixed'. At the end of the day, all the web standards mean precisely dick versus actual browser share.

I'm running 7 64bit and IE8 crashes like a mofo while Firefox is very stable.

with how rapidly the US dollar is losing value, that search dog is just about perfect for what we'll soon know as Microbucks. Except if we call it that, Starbucks will sue the United States and pwn all of the money, not to imply that they don't already have rights to a pretty large percent, as they serve up another cup of a morning essential for 80% of big shot paper slinging office cubical "mer-ricans."
