But should I??

yes! don't be fooled by firefox and other inferior software, it's just full of spyware. use the microsoft recommended and supported internet explorer, it's famous for it's stability and security. i also recommend installing cool web search, that is if it hasn't already installed itself on it's own.

Juddy, you sound like some freaking Microsoft advertisement agent

I may work for microsoft's marketing department, but my recommendations are based on solid facts and research done by certified microsoft techs specializing in developing retro encabulators.
