Story: Site slams IE's security

This is the stuff that gets on my nerves now. I work in IT and I have used everything from Windows to Unix, IE to Firefox. Everyone keeps making a stink about Microsoft this Microsoft that. What these whining people don;t see that if you take the Microsoft option out of the picture then 80% of the users in this world won;t be able to open thier AOL or look at their son od daughters pictures. Microsoft tried their best to make the PC a more friendly place. I would love to see some of these people try and install in app in a different operating system or use another browser. Of course its going to have security flaws It has been the most dominate browser in the world why would i want to try and exploit an alternative browser when nobody uses it? I'm sure in 5 years or so we are all going to be complaining about the exploits in browser A or Browser B. Its funny how when one company makes a product that everyone uses everyone points out its flaws. EVERYTHING has it's exploit and instead of advanced users complaining and spreading propaganda trying to get un knoledgeable users to switch software, maybe we should all try and show these users how they can protect themselves from these exploits which primarily come from user ignorance. Now don't get me wrong I love anything that challenges the big MS but I have to give credit when credit is due. Without Microsoft my job would suck :)
