So, Non XP PCs are open to infection

Since only those having XP SP2 are protected, more than 50% of the world is open to infection right?

MS's answer? upgrade to Xp. No doubt.
My answer? Exit IE, Firefox here I come.

The problem with SP2

The problem with SP2 is that it breaks things. Too many things that work on non-SP2 IE stop working on SP2. Then perhaps one can get them to work by turning off some security things, but then you're not protected. As far as I see, SP2 only disabled some features by default and placed some intimidating notices saying you're taking a risk when using them.

Banner bashing of browser

The real bad person here is not the hacker...its the browser builder who after years of having a product will not secure it for all users
