Comments on: Microsoft investigates 'download warning' flaw

Problem in IE and XP SP2 allows a malicious Web site to bypass the browser's warnings when downloading potentially harmful content.

That would be nice

Forcing companies to release high quality code the first time around would be a nice change of pace, and not only at MS. The current trend of selling beta software disguised as release quality code is tiresome.

Reading this article you can tell that MS is being dragged into fixing this issue. Which is not surprising.

Like many industries before, only government interference will improve things. That is a sad statement about the 'buck at any cost' atmosphere at nearly every corporation.

addendum

"hey would then have some real financial incentive to get it right the first time, instead of this Computer Science 101 coding they are continually churning out," said Starnes."

Stop insulting computer science students. :)~

I downloaded that peice of crap app and I must say it blows. It does have some nice features "built-in" but I can get all the same protection and features with addons for IE. Oh ya, their latest installer ****** one of my systems royally. Thanks for such a good product - not.
