IE popularity surge

Thanks.

I like my tower and I think I'll keep my tower.

I guess this was aimed at me mentioning mobile.

I don't think that PCs are going away but I'm willing to bet that with the younger generation many of them won't have computers in their homes as adults. I already have students who have smart phones at home but no internet connection. When I ask them to bring their devices to school to work on projects, About 90% of them have tablets/phones instead of laptops.

Dont get me wrong I still have multiple desktop PCs/laptops but its going to continue to be a dying breed I'm afraid. When we are talking about the rise in web browser usage, this is essential to mention because mobile internet usage has overtaken traditional computers.

The surge in popularity for IE comes at the expense of Firefox. Seems IE 11 is better than the last version of Firefox ?

Don't know about ie11, but the last version of FF portable, ver 32.0.3, does seem to be slower than ver 32.0.1 or ver 32.0.2.

Could just be this slow net connection but I don't think so.

When it comes to powerful photo or audio manipulation, phones and tablets don't cut the jib.

@Login123 : Each next version (IE, FF, ...... ) is Always larger in size and then comes it at no surprise that the new version requires more computing power/a more powerful system/more RAM or one should accept that the new version is slower on an older system.

Tried FF (have it installed but I don't use it because of certain features/characteristics).
