Re: Go ahead and remove IE!

said by R4M0N:
Then Firebird or some other browser will become the biggest and also the target to all this scrutiny. I would love to come back here in a few years and see the same people bitching about how they are removing **insert next big browser name here**

Yes, the browser is full of security holes, but believe me, if half the people looking for holes in IE were also looking for holes in other browsers, we would ditch browsing alltoguether (well, at least some of you would).

Precisely. These people will ALWAYS go for the big gun....just to show their peers they can. As I had written in another forum, in the pre-NT days the O/S with the biggest and most holes was Unix.....until NT became popular. Then the hacks out there started going for them. The big gun's always the target.

true, but the unix kernel matures at a much faster rate than winders does.

Having thousands of people looking at code each day vs the dozen or so smack asses at microsoft.

Hell, they're on the 12th service pack of Windows NT.
