Quote:

Microsoft weathered vociferous campaigns by Web developers to support standards published by the W3C (World Wide Web Consortium). Now many of those same developers are urging surfers to dump IE in favor of standards-compliant browsers like the Mozilla Foundation's Firefox.

Perhaps worse for IE's reputation, security advisers including the U.S. government's CERT (Computer Emergency Readiness Team) have warned against using Microsoft's browser. (CERT praised SP2's security improvements, but half of Windows users can't access them without paying for an upgrade to XP.)


Heh. No wonder I'm a Firefox convert.

Yep, me too... I use Firefox and Thunderbird, and for some reason I don't have this problem with my system getting 0\/\/n3d by every 2-bit pimply-faced skiddie who can't get a date. Of course, I also keep patches up to date, and if I get an email that says "do these 12 things to see a picture of a nekkid celebrity" I just move it to /dev/null...
