Now that the BooB has posted....

.. the crucial question is whetehr or not this will actually affect
the security, or rather the lack of it, in Internet Explorer.

Microsoft has made a good opening move, if they really have
turned IE into an independant app, rather than a bundled mess
inside Windows. Next concern - can MS get the bundled IE
vesrion to shut down, without losing the Windows code MS
loaded into IE? That may be just a matter of adjusting pointers
and accepting the presence of blocks of disabled Windows code.
Then, comes the question in focus - just what improvements in
security will occur?.... and how long will the improved security
last?

Relevant point - it only took hackers a couple of days to figure
out severl ways to defet MS's check for OS authenticity. MS will
make changes, of course, and several days after that... well, you
already know that story.

MS's attempts to enhance WIndows and IE security would be at
least laudable, if it wsn't an absolute requirement. Now the time
has come to see if MS can really fulfil its promise, or does the
playing field just get painted a different color.
