If you are careless and stupid enough to disable protections, neither IE or Vista will serve as your babysitter.

Trusted sites?

The whole reason for having a trusted zone is that you put sites in there that you trust. Presumably if you put a site in the trusted zone you trust the content on that site. It's not like Microsoft is hiding anything from you, I don't see why this is big news!

Enjoy the ride on the big long Microsoft bashing bandwagon!!

I have vista. It is the worst piece of **** yet. You are better off with XP. Better yet, go get an apple computer. It is 10000 times better than any crappy windows program. I also had mozilla. A collosal waste of time. It keep freezing, was slow and had problems with it. Stick with IE7(Not IE8beta, that REALLY, REALLY SUCKS!!!)
