Microsoft is not liking this story at all, not only is Google getting great press for pulling out of China but MS is getting thrown under the bus. I don't use IE anyway ;-)
Meh, I should just start using FireFox more also. Keep getting viruses on my comp and I'm not sure if its the ie8 or the win xp os.
I believe it is kind of sentiment sent by European Union Goverment against Microsoft. Last couple monts ago, i remember that Microsoft got sued for 600 million euro because its practice (embed IE as part of windows installation) was against European Union Fair Trading Act.... kinda Anti Trust so, i think Microsoft kind having difficulties to infiltrates European policy makers....
Its not about Sentiments . Read about Aurora IE Exploit . Better Switch on to Firefox before someone hits you hard
yea IE has been known for many bugs... but thats because they are so popular. IF firefox or chrome were popular as IE then more tests were to be done to find additional bugs. IE still owns more then 50% in the market.
I just dont use IE anymore, too many hackers etc make things for it. Firefox will be the same in the future I think tho.
Since there are many fast browser now a days i guess many people won't use IE,unless and until there are windows 7 releases in their pc.
I think Microsoft did it on purpose. The back door was created to spy user activity so they can use those information for their marketing strategy.
Good news : Now i don't need to make my site for cross browser ) 2 year ago i am use Internet explorer. he..he..he...
Everyday, I grow more and more happy with Mozilla. Maybe ONE DAY Microsoft will make a browser that can truly be innovative and rival the other players out there.
