Story: Thinking of ditching IE? Think again

•

This article is a baseless advertisement for IE. The two main points given are that IE isn't the only browser with security features and that if you don't use IE you won't be able to view a large number of websites. However, while it may be that IE isn't the only browser that can be hacked, you gave no statistical data proving this point, and barely even mentioned IE's competitors. Apparently you think that becuase you said so it's true. Also, of all the sites I've visited in the last year, the only one that I remember not handling Firefox/Mozilla was the microsoft site itself. You also never mentioned Firefox's innate functions that make it a much more comfortable and easy browser to use, such as tabbing and a built-in pop-up blocker. In one sentence you even referenced a statement that is against the use of internet explorer, and in the next tried to turn it around into a reason to use the browser. This article is propaganda that only mentions the pros to internet explorer and completely foregoes the pros of other browsers. It seems to be nothing more than an attempt to trick uninformed users from making a logical choice.
