Phrosty:
No IE dosn't work fine. It's very broken!!!
It doesn't properly adhere to all the javascript and html format specifications. No browser does, including IE. Regardless, most sites are made to work best on IE since it's the most popular. But that won't be for long.
Microsoft's IE has been so plagued with problems that even Microsoft(!!!) is telling people to not use IE. And it's not only MS doing this. Their own subsidiary MSN does the same:

So is CERT (the US Computer Emergency Readiness Team) in the name of National Security! They figure IE is helping terrorits!

This is a serious problem. As an example, a month ago my cousin got a new computer. This week my bro had to go fix it cauz she had about 1000 spyware progs installed on her comp!! (about 100 of which were cookies). IE makes your computer a whore for hire.
Don't do banking or anything important with IE, it's too risky.
I recommend you install Firefox. Not only is it safer, it's got more features!
BTW, IE's popularity on the net has been quickly declining. Last year IE accounted for about 85% of all browsers on the web. In only 12 months they are down to 75%. And they are still declining.
Check for yourself
(Notice the huge climb for Mozilla/Firefox during this year!!!!)
The browser wars are back!
