Microsoft releasing emergency patch

[Kloofvreter]

No because it's constantly evolving is more like it, sure its a hassle...but the patches most of the time are for the better....cant expect anything to be perfect out of the box (but if u pay 1k for an OS u expect something better than what one gets from M$)

The same can be said for Windows. And by the sound of this, you think Linux is better than M$ only because it's FREE?

FF and Chrome user = Happy

If there is a flaw in IE then there is a flaw in win xp, IE is part of the OS
If you run xp you have that flaw, no matter what browser you use

if they close all the backdoors how on earth are they going to spy on us - looking at stats a lot of people are giving M$ a miss

what stats
oh you mean these http://www.w3schools.com/browsers/browsers_os.asp

I just wish all banking sites would support FF or Opera. Then I could completely ditch IE.
