German government warns against using MS Explorer
Now this must be the news of 2010
After nearly 10 years of unlimited patches, hotfixes and service Packs, IE is still a weak link in recent attacks on Google's systems. Either M$ is now threatened by Googles rise to prominence or IE is completely rubbish. Either way we should start taking instructions from the German government if this article is anything to go by. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/technology/8463516.stm Is google's search engine more powerful than M$ Bing? |

German government warns against using MS Explorer
Now this must be the news of 2010 and 2011....and 2012.... IE problems are almost weekly. There's no news there. People want convenience. They want entertainment. They want to check their gmail, edit their Facebook, watch silly videos, and shop online. They don't want to learn new tools. So they use IE and enable script. The real surprise is that so many people in high tech places -- people who should know better -- are using IE and have script enabled. What hope is there for the mainstream if the people in the know are so lazy? |

The reason of what look likes to you of many more virus infections in IE browsers are surely a result of the very profound inegualities in market share. This inegualities is perhaps as profound as around 1 to 99 or till something around 5 to 99. That said; you're right on another point. Windows users has been overloaded with problems araising from the fact that too many new programs has been sent out having problems, even all formers never gets fully unbuged. Even far from unbuged. The company apparently needs money and/or lacks qualified programmers. And my windows 7 64bit is just as slow as Vista was. In fact, windows 7 is a disguised Vista. /senn |
