The fact that this guy makes something as boring as upgrading software over and over again actually enjoyable to watch is really astonishing.

Also, his search in the Bing box in IE 9 caught me by surprise.

He's got a good, non-emotional speaking voice, and his content:noise ratio is high. Also, the tempo of the overview is near perfect, and his choice of what video to show to go with his voiceover is flawless.

"If you’re an Internet Explorer fan..."

Wait what? I was under the impression that most people use IE either because its installed by default or they are forced by their corporate overloads. Do people actually use IE because they really liked it after comparing it with other options?
