It does suck, it didn't used to but it does now in comparison.

Well. My point of reference was the past .

And everybody else was referring to the present, which is quite logical really since most people don't currently live in 2001.

I'm pretty sure I can find a society out there that is dedicated to living in 2001 . I'll go and join them. (They are the sole cause of why devolopers have to work with IE6)

[swerving2win]

I know. But thats like saying Windows 98 sucks. It does now, back then people where like. OMG.

IE 6 was great during its lifetime. Just because its no longer supported, does not mean we can reach back in time and declare it to suck.

windows 98 was good for its time. You can't compare the OS with the browser. The difference is people stopped using 98 a while ago while several people still use IE 6. Both are outdated, and suck for modern day use.

are they elderly customers? My father switched from 98 to XP 2 years ago. They tend to be late bloomers when it comes to technology.

No, not really . It's a misleading statement made by a non-reputable organization who published a shoddy report.

...Then it's a good thing I use FF and IE sometimes, for their plugins and compatibility with more sites?

Well... good web developers should make their site compatible with all browsers . Most sites you go to, you shouldn't have problems .

Also, wtf is going on in your avatar?

Is that why the itemdb is currently only fully working with Firefox? Lol.

Well, when I say compatibility, I mean those parts of microsoft.com and that site which tells you if you can run a game. You know, those ones which ONLY let you use IE

Cirno, from Touhou, is being eaten by a frog. Isn't it obvious?

I'm a shitty web developer . I prefer the logic to the display .

Oh, yeah. I know what you mean. Those sites use Active X controls. It's a web technology that allows for rich content in browsers, similar to Adobe's Flash. As far as I know, IE is the only browser to implement them (I think it's a Microsoft thing anyway). However, that also leaves IE users vulnerable to some evil people out there. Active X controls have some interesting security policies though. The control is allowed virtually full access to the computer which makes installing one relatively dangerous: only install Active X controls from sources you trust.

That means the user is the security vulnerability, not Active X.

[Waser Lave]

You should never trust users not to do stupid things though, the option just shouldn't exist in the first place.

[iargue]

Its a battle between security and features. Active x is full of features, but it doesnt have any security . Well, besides IE saying, "If you dont know the maker, DONT FUCKING INSTALL" (Not like thats EVER changed anything).


Windows has for years been poping up whenever you run a program saying, "This could be a virus, unless you know the publisher, dont install it" and people are still like, "Yes. I would like a virus"

[Shinigami88]

yea i agree... its basically up to the user -.-
