Don't fix your busted product
Advertise! ROFL! MS might want to consider collectively switching to decaf.

My favorite is the latest suggesting that instead of clicking on links, you type the address into the command line in IE. HAHAHAHAHA! If I hadn't seen it myself, I would've thought it was a joke site. Here it is, right out of an MS security bulletin:

"The most effective step that you can take to help protect yourself from malicious hyperlinks is not to click them. Rather, type the URL of your intended destination in the address bar yourself. By manually typing the URL in the address bar, you can verify the information that Internet Explorer uses to access the destination Web site. To do so, type the URL in the Address bar, and then press ENTER. "

Article number is 833786 if you'd like to look it up yourself. I'd post the link but I don't have my spoofed MS support site ready yet. Bada bing, bada boom! Two shows a night, I'm here 'til Thursday! Try the veal.
