Great, more trolling.

Anyone who thinks IE is inherintely broken or "just shouldn't be used" is totally naive, tbh.

IE9 is excellent, quite fast and very stable. I've had no issues with it.

I do use Chrome on the odd occasion, and find it a great alternative, much better than the rest, imo.

Ok...

1. On that basis, let's not bother to use any popular software out of fear :rolleyes:

2. Mute point. Microsoft can and do release out of band security updates when needed.

3. See above.

4. Adobe has their own flash and reader update alerts.

5. Is this 2005? ActiveX isn't really a problem anymore at default security settings.

6. What's his point? Apart from a handful, most plug-ins are crap anyway.

7. See point 4.

8. I can see his point but not a problem for me, I don't regularly use Linx or OS X.

9. You can do this with third party software like xmarks or dropbox etc.

10. As IE is part of Windows, it's pretty obvious there isn't going to be a portable version. You could use virtualisation to run side by side copies if you wanted.

11. Now he's really plucking at straws. Yes, let's all lambast Microsoft for developing a x64 version of IE :rolleyes:

12. And so too is Internet Explorer :rolleyes:

+1

Just let people use what they want and like.
