Default Internet Explorer Flaw - 12-22-2008, 05:17 PM

Im sure most of you have heard about the recent security issue with Microsoft's defualt browser Internet Explorer where people are using this flaw to steal passwords. It is highly recamended that if you use this browser to visit this site: http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com
The newest update is said to protect you against this flaw.

Well it's about time Microsoft publicly admitted their wrong, but hey, it's about time Microsoft got off their arses and fixed some of their problems pretty damn quickly, too. I've always been a Firefox whore though with about 40 plugins and rotating themes. <3

They have also said this flaw has been for IE5 through 8.

This means we have been open to hackers for over 4 years!

I can NOT believe that people working for Microsoft are stupid. So then why they make products with such bugs. The answer is simple: to lead everybody "depending" on Microsoft software to go and upgrade. Time by time. The same why nobody produces super-reliable cars for masses anymore. BUnch of new products better for marketing and sales then only one good for years.
I personally trying not to use MS products by possibility. That's my credo.
Thanks n00b 0wna anyway.
