IE is evil and should be destroyed.lighth7015October 18 2005, 16:28:03 UTC
Now, if you get an ActiveX virus/trojan/whatever from a newly installed system, you won't be singinh, "Oh I hate Firefox, Oh I hate Firefox," now will you?
and Microsoft has no intention of updating to the latest W3C standards-- as one of my friends put it, "They just figured they were sittin' pretty." <-- that pretty much describes Microsoft's attitude when it comes to web standards and all of that... Remember how IE6 was going to be their LAST webbrowser? Well, their customers said, "Hey, I want a microsoft product that supports tabs too!," and well, Microsoft, being the shareholder kiss-ass of all time, went ahead and added tabs and stuff. The only way to make IE safe, is to remove it from the Operating System-level. You can embed controls and whatnot, just don't get TOO carried away with the design and implementation of the browser, *gasp* that was a mouth-full.

Hahaha, you think I don't know this?
There's ways to protect yourself though, most of it is being smart about what you're doing on the Web, but I can agree that most people are oblivious to such facts.
Microsoft is trying to put web standards in (probably because the geeks had enough and started taking control over web design tactics too, the state of the web was awful compatibility-wise once upon a time), but admittedly it won't be in IE7. Not completely at least.
If you're using a Microsoft system, you'd like the things you get forcefed to be somewhat useful.
