Internet Exporer in trouble again

It's not 'Internet Exporer', it's 'Internet Exploder'. :)

All the more reason to run Firefox!

Funny, the man from Microsoft said on the news tonight that it wasn't really such a problem as only a few percent of people had been affected... and he was still using IE too. So I guess it must be OK... ;-)

Even stranger... My system is set to automatic update (and I often get them) so I would have expected an update this morning. But nothing...

Firefox is still good, albeit not as good as it once was. They're trying to make it all things to all people, which is compromising it's stability and simplicity.

Opera is highly underrated, IMO.

I've been using Opera for many years. However, I'm stuck at version

9.27 because versions 9.5x are resource hogs. One of the many good features about Opera is its customisability. For example, you can add your own functions to the r-click menus. In my case I have added "open with Firefox" and "open with OffByOne" selections to allow me to open any URL in an alternative browser. I prefer OffByOne for viewing news and forum pages that are otherwise overwhelmed by ads, Javascript, Flash, and other eye candy. OffByOne is extremely fast and launches in a matter of seconds.

I like to do a Registry edit so it says its 'Ignorant Exploder'. Its amazing the number of people who never notice the change. :)

Dont tell people to use firefox because if everybody did the baddies would start making viruses for it instead

The picture of the two browsers in the picture on that web page look like Netscape 4.0 & IE 3.0

The following quote, from the above URL, is the typical Microsoft fear mechanism, for the ignorant.

To be followed by several patches to fix the fix :)

Yeah, I thought that was a really contemptible comment.

not quite correct.

The patches will be to fix what the "fix" stuffs up.

Erm, that's what I said.

Yeah, I thought that was a really contemptible comment.

Very. A bit OT I know, but how can I determine whether I have the latest update. Using the About... option under Help just gives me a list of files. No 'latest update' date or self-explanatory version number

Simply ignore Microsoft, and install a decent system. You can use Firefox (browser) and Thunderbird (email/news) on at least Mac, Linux, and Windoze. See mozilla.com.

Well mine worked fine before, and still does.

I use Opera except for non-W3C compliant sites which may require IE.

Authors of HTML code that does not conform to W3C standards should be SHOT.
