Which IE security weakeness is this one, I cant tell from one week to
the next if they are getting ahead or just treading water. Is there
any doubt that mashing the browser into the OS was a critical
mistake by Bill Gates and Jim Allchin, and that PC users will be
paying for this goof-up for YEARS to come. Sloppy, greedy, kick

Why Are People Still Using IE?

Like, if you had a brand of tire on your car that was that prone to blowouts at high speed, would you still keep driving on it? Firefox, Opera, Safari, take your pick. To paraphrase Rodney, "Take me IE, please.....".
