Remarkable LATENESS and lack of Forethought
``The next version of Microsoft's much criticized Internet Explorer browser is being built to resist hijacking attempts by spyware and other malicious software, according to a Microsoft developer.''

Since IE is, by definition, an Internet access tool, WHY ON EARTH these functionalities NEVER made it in its earlier versions? After 10 whole years downed on MS that they have to .... desing it to resist spyware and guard against giving to unknown remote processes Super-User privilleges?

Even a 7 10 year old would be more prudent and wise. What a remarkable lack of design and development skills and what a remarkable absence of COMMON SENSE.

But it's OK: so many people DO NOT CARE about the pain inlficted on them by this organization..... So keep enjoying it people... it will only get worse.
