well, I guess it depends on how your using it. If your saying something like "I'm gonna go on the Internet" then I guess it should be, but if your saying "i need an internet program" then I guess it shouldnt be. :D

No its called Internet Explorer and not internet explorer, because its a name, which makes it proper to use capital letters.
