Why Do Some Programmers Think Everyone Uses IE?

I do not use Internet Explorer. I don't like Internet Explorer. Rumor has it I can turn it off in Windows 7 and I hope that's true! I will use it long enough to download Firefox and then it will be turned off.

So if I turn IE 8 off, then what will happen when I want to update programs that open IE when I click Update? IE is NOT my default browser and I deeply resent it when programmers that insist I use it to update a program!

Most programs when updating from within honor my preferences and use my default browser.

I won't mention any names, but I just updated my favorite screen capture program and when I clicked for the update IE opened. Grrrrrrrrr!
