Coincidentally, Symantic is in the business of selling software that's largely based on false perception of vulnerability when good administrative network practices would suffice.

So do I, but if you would have seen all the crowing about IE's vulnerability by some people on the tech pings, you would know why we are taking a wee bit of satisfaction in this.

I wonder how many share of Microsoft were handed over for that endorsement?

Of course.  Companies that make money stick with other companies that make money!

hmmmm .... so when anti-MS reports are put out, it's the gosplel truth ... but when a report comes out that makes MS look good it's a bribe or conspiracy.  Makes sense, I guess.

Yes, Get IE.

I'll go one step further.  Get Internet Explorer with the MSN Toolbar.  You'll get Pop-up blocking, tabbed browsing, integrated search, form fill, etc....

MSN Toolbar

And invite all the crap back in. Sure, that's a good idea. Not.
