| This is really not about IE Actually, this is not about IE or Microsoft; it is about human nature. As long as there is an internet, and as long as there are computers, there will be people who will find ways to exploit it. Microsoft is a huge target because so many people have it and because they are successful. However, if another company had had that success instead of Microsoft, their software would be the main target, and people would find ways to exploit it. Certainly, software can be made more secure, and Microsoft has stumbled in that arena. Know this, security has a price, it's called functionality and backwards incompatibility. Obviously, there must be a balance.

Katy, TX | Excellent point dpmox. Furthermore human nature=human curiosity>human experience. When enough of our homo sapien sapien brethren succumb to burned finger tips resultant from entering private data blindly solicited and opening email attachments reflexively likely many of these 'exploits' will be no more damaging than lit cigarette butts tossed mindlessly out of automobile windows...an occasional forest fire but not the consistent conflagration.
I can just see (hear) it now, the next generation cyber-parent, 'no, no, no junior, stay away from the attachment...you'll hurt yourself'! | |

Know this... Microsloth did not stumble in that arena, they "$hit in your face" in that arena.
The problem is not in the browser. The problem is in the rights the person running the browser has by default. Microsoft would like you to believe the problem is with the browser. The problem runs much deeper than that, right to the core of the OS and the company philosophy....
