Microsoft issues a third version of a troubled Internet Explorer patch to fix a bug in an earlier update.

Microsoft should fix IE permanently
by rcrusoe September 13, 2006 1:53 PM PDT: by removing it from Windows and bundling Firefox with their OS.

That would fix a ton of Windows security problems and give MS
someone to blame when Windows has browser problems.

IE outlived its usefulness years ago and is now just an albatross
around Windows' neck.; Like this Reply to this comment

They need to put IE to rest
by wbenton September 14, 2006 12:27 AM PDT: Software labelled v1.0 is usually full of bugs and not entirely complete as vendors rush to release their first product on time.

Software labelled v2.0 usually includes most of what didn't make it out the door in v1.0 as well as fixes for major bugs in v1.0.

Software labelled v3.0 usually fixes major bugs with the new stuff released in v2.0 as well as fixing most of the minor bugs remaining from the older v.1 which didn't make it into v2.0.

Thus it's often considered that from v3.0, the product is stable.

However in Microsoft's case... they're already up to v6.x and still have ONE BIG SECURITY FLAW AFTER ANOTHER.

That's understandable for Microsoft... but what I CANNOT understand is why so many people continue to use such a buggered up piece of trash which they call Internet Explorer!!!
