I am fed up with how slow internet explorer is making my computer run and I have been told firefox eats up less memory and is more stable than IE9. However I use hotmail and messenger for my e mail and I like to use skydrive etc for sending business documents, so if I uninstall internet explorer 9 will my hotmail and ancilleries still operate without it. I am thinking I would rather get rid of IE9 from my machine so I can free up space - pointless to keep a programme on the machine if I do not want to use it.
