I'm still using XP. The latest I can use if IE8.

Another good reason to run Firefox. IE8 will not open a lot of things

I've had Firefox run into problems opening Microsoft stuff. But I like Firefox. Never had any
problems with it, although it is slow to open compared to IE8.

I do also have one computer running XP SP3 with multiple browsers
installed, and by using a stop watch, I measured and compared the time
to open IE and Firefox after clicking the shortcut.

After doing this test 5 times for each browser, I got the following
results:
- IE (version 8.0) opened in 1.37 seconds in average.
- Firefox (version 25.0.1) opened in 3.16 seconds in average.

Interesting that you used an average. I just ran my own test. I restarted Windows, then opened IE8,
It took about 2 seconds for IE8 to open. Then I fired up Firefox. It took right at ten seconds for
Firefox to open. I then tried both again. IE8 opened in about 2 seconds, and Firefox in about 3
seconds. On the next Firefox try, it opened in about 2 seconds. I suppose something is staying in
RAM to assist in subsequent openings, but I'm no IT guy so not sure.

A lot of IE is actually resident in Windoze.


My wife runs IE 11 on her Windoze 7 machine at her downtown office and
in her home office. The update to "11" was recent, and she hasn't
mentioned any problems. If she had at home, I would have heard about
them. Downtown, there's a substantial IT department.

Has anyone updated to IE11. Any comments or feedback?

My system already installed it and I've been using it for about a week. Haven't noticed any
thing new, different or not workiing.

You commented that I used an average value, so just for the record:

Based on my manual notes, here are the individual test results where
each browser are started alternately (i.e. IE, FF, IE, FF ...) after
first doing a clean reboot of Windows:

IE Firefox
--------- ---------
Test #1 (Internet Explorer): 1.60 sec
Test #2 (Firefox): 6.18 sec
Test #3 (Internet Explorer): 0.85 sec
Test #4 (Firefox): 2.82 sec
Test #5 (Internet Explorer): 2.66 sec
Test #6 (Firefox): 2.52 sec
Test #7 (Internet Explorer): 0.92 sec
Test #8 (Firefox): 1.89 sec
Test #9 (Internet Explorer): 0.81 sec
Test #10 (Firefox): 2.37 sec
--------- ---------
Average: 1.37 sec 3.16 sec

Is that actually loading a home page or just getting a browser window
without loading a page?
You may be looking at net latency. My Firefox seems to load in less
than 2 seconds going to Privatelee.com as a home page.
Occasionally it takes several seconds tho and when it does you see it
is waiting for the page to load.

For me I just waited for the screen to open. I have google news as home, and that often takes a few
more seconds.
