			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>To many people&#8217;s minds the war between the various web browsers looks like a schoolyard brawl between two rambunctious boys, with a quiet &#8211; possibly special needs &#8211; kids sitting off to one side utterly unconcerned and oblivious to the fight raging beside him.</p>
<p style="text-align:center"><img class="size-full wp-image-636 aligncenter" title="browser-war" src="http://technogearophilia.jonolan.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/browser-war.jpg" alt="" width="448" height="339" /><br />
<strong class="highlight">Mmmmmmmm&#8230;Glue Good</strong></p>
<p>Yessir; that&#8217;s old Internet Explorer off to side eating glue while the other browsers get rowdy, trying to figure out who&#8217;ll be king of the internet playground &#8211; <em>or so it&#8217;s really easy to think</em>.</p>
<p>The thing is though that the &#8220;glue&#8221; IE is munching on is business critical Microsoft applications such as Office and SharePoint, and a plethora of other critical web-based or web-enabled systems that were designed to work natively with IE but which either do not function correctly with Firefox or Chrome or which require modifications to those browsers&#8217; settings &#8211; Firefox users, think about:config &#8211; in order to work correctly.</p>
<p>Firefox, Chrome, and all the lesser contenders can fight between themselves for the recreational market all they want. Microsoft&#8217;s Internet Explorer doesn&#8217;t need to be the playground&#8217;s biggest bully; it&#8217;s busy at work &#8211; more like the nerdy straight-A student than the special needs kid.</p>
