You are running Internet Explorer version 6 or 7. Why does that matter?

Internet Explorer 6 and 7 are way out of date.

Surprisingly Microsoft's Internet Explorer 6 and 7 are the only major browsers that do not fully support CSS. This can be a problem as most sites now incorporate CSS in their coding. Because of this issue most (not all) web designers make the effort to write extra code to allow IE 6 and 7 users to view an often inferior version of their site (We support IE7). However...at last Internet Explorer has caught up, version 8 has been released and fully supports CSS!

With Internet Explorer open, click on 'Help' then 'About Internet Explorer'.

Update to Internet Explorer 8 today or install one of the other top web browsers

Download the latest web browsers for Windows Machines

Download Firefox for Macintosh Machines

Why does it matter?

Taking full advantage of CSS, web designers are now creating some great looking sites for supported browsers, however with up to 40% of current Windows machines still running IE 6 and 7 (as of January 2009) designers are forced to add code to allow IE 6 and 7 users to view an often inferior version of their site.
To insure your browser is bringing you the very latest version of a site, either update IE to version 8 or download and install one of the other top browsers. Firefox is becoming the market leader and is technically ahead of Internet Explorer in many ways. The Windows version of the default Macintosh browser, Safari is also chipping away at Microsoft's market share. However, IE is losing ground year on year to Firefox faster than any other browser. Firefox is available for both the Macintosh platform as well as Microsoft Windows. And as with all browsers... it is totally free.
