Still driving that defective car, Az?

OK, so you know your car has defects but you're going to drive it anyway. Well good for you. However the rest of the world doesn't put the safety of their vehicles' contents over blind brand loyalty to an expensive, security-deficient product. SP2 is an extension of the Microsoft philosophy - gigabytes of corporate dross designed to get your cash into their pocket. "Trustworthy computing is exposed for the marketing buzz-phrase it always was.

In SP2 and the new "improved" IE, Microsoft have delivered another monolithic wedge of wormholes and virus traps. And Ax, you defend it! How can you say IE is a target of - what, ridicule? - more than any other browser, because it's more popular?

I think those who continue to use IE in the face of the empirical evidence as to its inherent inferiority, will find themselves increasingly the objects of ridicule. It's what Microsoft fear most - "market forces" demanding and making choices ... monopolies do not do choices.
