IE Warning

By way of "Good Morning Silicon Valley":

December 27, 2005

Maybe you should rename it AIEEEEEEE!!!!!!

No wonder Microsoft's Internet Explorer browser is losing market share. According to network security outfit Scanit, Explorer is by far the least secure browser on the market. Scanit tracked three browsers over a year -- IE, Opera and Firefox -- noting the days on which they were "known unsafe." IE: a remotely exploitable security vulnerability had been announced, but had not yet been patched. Turns out IE was safe on only 7 out 365 days during 2004. In contrast Firefox was safe on 309 days and Opera on 300. An astonishing metric, even for those expecting the worst, and one that presents a very strong case for ditching IE if you haven't already.

Quality almost never sells. Crap forced down your throat does and thus Bill G is America's (the world's???) wealthiest person. But to accept crap when you have whatcha call a viable alternative... that's inexcuseable.
