How old is this page? It mentions Windows 98.

I just skimmed the history thing, but his main point seems to be that it's evil because it is installed with windows. Aside from the obvious reason of free marketing, internet explorer is installed with windows so you can download a browser. Nobody buy's physical copies of browsers like this anymore. I don't think you even can.

The complaints aren't about that it's included by default, but rather the heavy OS integration. Windows 98 and later used IE as the default shell. You can probably figure out what this did to performance.

Judging only by how silly it looks, pretty old.
