Microsoft will also stop offering downloads of the software at the end of January.

Software Notebook: Microsoft, Mozilla: A symbol of cooperation?
A teaser:
Granted, it's not exactly the Dayton Peace Accords. But Microsoft's Internet Explorer group and the rival Firefox browser team surprised the technology world last week with a small token of cooperation.
To be precise, it was a tiny orange icon. Microsoft worked out an arrangement to use the same symbol that Firefox does to alert people when a Web page makes extra streams of information available for subscription.
The industry has seen bigger deals, to put it mildly. In fact, describing it as a deal might be a stretch. It was an informal agreement, with no money changing hands, said Sean Lyndersay, lead program manager on Microsoft's Internet Explorer team.
But the mere idea that the two camps were talking caused a stir -- with some analysts wondering whether they might be capable of reaching consensus on more weighty matters, such as standards for the way Web pages are made and displayed. [/teaser]

Personally I wish Microsoft would get lost. I worry they may try to take over Mozilla.

On the topic of "Better Internet Browser"...
Here is a list of IE vulnerabilities:

We all know that IE is full of holes, but just because you use Firefox or Opera doesn't mean your safe.
