You can't "dump" IE it has become "integral" to windows at least
according to Microsucks. (that was the basis of the European
anti-trust suit) But it is easy to remove all the shortcuts to it.<br>
<br>
Firefox will run much better then IE on a netbook as it is a lighter
program. Firefox 4.0 will run even better when it comes out (I've
been testing the beta version it is FAST!)<br>
<br>
You might also want to install some of the programs listed here or
install their installer and select the ones you want.<br>

these are many of the essential programs that Windoze does not
include.<br>

Being on a tight budget, I replaced my old computer with an Acer
One D255 netbook, which really has all that I personally need in a
computer. It's a great little machine, but it came equipped with
Internet Explorer, which I hate, or to put more civilly, dislike
with extreme prejudice. Specs are Intel Atom processor, 1.5Ghz, 1
MB L2 cache; Memory, 1 GB DDR3 memory; Storage, 250 GB HDD. (I
have no idea what I just typed). Would I be able to download
Mozilla Firefox on this little guy and dump @&*! Internet
Explorer?

Windows, OSX, or Linux is the same choice as:
McDonald's, Burger King, or a (real) Co-Op.
