First thing: this fellow is so clueless he does not know that the vast bulk of Internet Explorer's memory usage is hidden within the operating system. Second thing: what kind of garbage configuration does this idiot have? Mozilla pops up pretty darned quick on my machine and renders pages faster than IE 5.5, and I do not have Quick Launch enabled. I only bother keeping an IE menu entry around for the (more and more) rare occurrence of a (FrontPage created) Web site that needs it.
