Comments on: Unpatched IE flaws reported

Security consultant says a hole in Internet Explorer 6 could allow an intruder to run code on a PC.

Another day ... Another FLAW

One more reason to switch to OPERA.

At least you didn't say switch to FireFox

I'm so happy to hear that you didn't say switch to FF because it's been riddle with bugs and missteps lately. See Dog Days for FireFox http://news.com.com/Dog+days+for+Firefox/2009-1032_3-5798545.html?tag=nefd.lede

As for Opera, I love this browsers functionality, it's the best. But if it were popular enough to attract hackers I think it would fare far worse then FF and IE. And for that mater, if the browser market share were reversed with FireFox having 90% of the market it would have 10 times more bugs then IE because hackers(I'm sure they're pissed off Microsoft Devs) are barely creating exploits for it.

Already there

Already using 8.0.1 & it's fine for most things. But some sites only work with IE, and they are sites that I HAVE to use - so I have to keep IE too.

Windowzers taken for a ride! AGAIN!

You folks that continue to pay Bill for the trash heaps he spews
from REDmond make me laugh. What makes someone put up with
such c r a p? It can't be the user friendliness, security, ease of use,
stability or the total cost of ownership. So what is it?

I guess if everyone switched to OS X or Linux then we wouldn't
have trash like Windoze to make us look so good.

All of the above

All those reasons you mentioned (user friendliness, security, ease of use, stability and the total cost of ownership) work for me. But don't worry; I am sure that you have conviced someone to try Linux with your comment. But not me because I already have this year and it still sux. Again.

Incidently, what do you mean by "continue to pay"? I paid for Win2K once five years ago and I still love it. Do you lease your software or is it so bad that you are itching for the latest upgrade that oozes out?

Buy a Dell dude and leave Windows on it too.
