Internet Explorer, like most Microsoft software, is as buggy as buggy gets. Oh, excuse me.... Microsoft calls these bugs, "undocumented features". I flat out, not use Internet Explorer. When Microsoft came out with Windows "Me", I saw it as their practical joke to the world. "Vista", was no different. They put a bunch of patches on it, then added a few new options, and call it "Windows 7". No, thank you. The last solid piece of software that Microsoft put out, was Windows 2000, but I do give a hand to XP, as it wasn't as bad as it could have been. I am no MAC user though. Personally, I don't see enough positives in it to make it worth the money they ask for it. In today's PC's, Dual and Quad Core Processors along with higher RAM and Video memory make a PC just as graphically dominant as any MAC can be. And there is still the sheer amount of software that is available for Windows VS. MAC. Another shut out, the way I see it. And the old ideas that MAC computers aren't as "buggy" as Windows, just doesn't hold true anymore either. MAC PC's are as bad .if not worse in some cases. As for the subject at hand, go to Mozilla Firefox if you want a good solid Internet browser. It's all I use, and all I will allow installed on my computers at home. As soon as I add any OS on myPC, I immediately remove Internet Explorer. Microsft products simply can't be trusted. They are too quickly built, and nowhere nearly tested enough.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Jim]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jan 27th 2010 10:07AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2010/01/26/more-flaws-discovered-in-internet-explorer-could-pose-threat/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2010/01/26/more-flaws-discovered-in-internet-explorer-could-pose-threat/</guid><description><![CDATA[You mean people STILL use that antiquated kludge?

ALL systes with milions of line of code ar evunerable. Especially OPEN SOURCE. It is just that the hackers have all the acces they need with FireFox. It is there for the asking. MS is a target plain and simple. People are jealous of success and they hate that. Also providing computer OS and IE Explorer for the majority of computers in the world kind of makes it the prime target of hackers. WHo want s to hack something that is not a value to them. ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[ke0em]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jan 27th 2010 3:59PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2010/01/26/more-flaws-discovered-in-internet-explorer-could-pose-threat/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2010/01/26/more-flaws-discovered-in-internet-explorer-could-pose-threat/</guid><description><![CDATA[Son, take a deep breath and buy a gun.

(JDen1952) Give 'em hell. Sphere's comments page is like a frustrating nightmare. I've logged over 25 hrs phone time and over 50 callls to AOL to fix it or take it down. I also batter the feedback site for AOL with these complaints, and have emailed Sphere. I have recently seen Sphere close comments pages and leave a message saying we are working to improve the comments process... HA !  we'll see.

Posting it on the news is gonna give hackers ideas. First of all, if anyone has ever noticed, problems with FireFox are taken care of rather quickly, if there are many at all. IE just goes about sending out a report letting everyone (including the hackers) know that they have a loophole. That's just inviting them in. For all you non-computer junkies out there: FireFox IS the answer. ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[stryk13]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jan 27th 2010 10:09AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2010/01/26/more-flaws-discovered-in-internet-explorer-could-pose-threat/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2010/01/26/more-flaws-discovered-in-internet-explorer-could-pose-threat/</guid><description><![CDATA[Ok. First of all, why are we posting this on the Internet? People should have already switched to FireFox by now...come on its 2010!!! <br>When and if FireFox rarely has a problem, they fix it right away. 9 times out of 10 it is taken care of so quick that it wouldn't have made sense to send out a report about it. Posting the fact that IE has a flaw in it is nothing new. But it also invites the so-called "hackers" in to find out what the flaw is. It's like telling a child there are cookies in the kitchen and expecting that child not to go out there and try to get them or say, a car company putting out a report that a car has a door malfunction problem, and then a bunch of idiots start going around trying to rob those cars. <br>PEOPLE, take it from those who know...FireFox is the answer. Don't let your personal information be exposed anymore.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Heather]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jan 27th 2010 10:22AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2010/01/26/more-flaws-discovered-in-internet-explorer-could-pose-threat/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2010/01/26/more-flaws-discovered-in-internet-explorer-could-pose-threat/</guid><description><![CDATA[Oh, so MICROSOFT suggests we upgrade to a higher version?  Now, doesn't THAT make sense!  (NOT!)  So let me get this straight...the same people who scammed us (and screwed us) with the VISTA VIRUS are telling us now to upgrade to something else that they invented that supposedly fixed all the flaws in the last thing they invented that burnt us.?.yeah--no thanks.  I got Firefox, because Microsoft can't be trusted as far as you can throw their poster child for con artists (Bill Gates)<br>]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Jeannie Walter]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jan 27th 2010 10:18AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2010/01/26/more-flaws-discovered-in-internet-explorer-could-pose-threat/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2010/01/26/more-flaws-discovered-in-internet-explorer-could-pose-threat/</guid><description><![CDATA[heartily agreed "hugh"..........two words.......FIRE.........FOX......."milk-you-soft"......needs to include an uninstall in windows to get their GARBAGE browser OFF windows period]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[me]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jan 27th 2010 10:17AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2010/01/26/more-flaws-discovered-in-internet-explorer-could-pose-threat/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2010/01/26/more-flaws-discovered-in-internet-explorer-could-pose-threat/</guid><description><![CDATA[Recently, Windows Update automatically upgraded your Internet Explorer to IE 8 version instead of IE 7 (open your Internet, choose HELP and ABOUT WINDOWS and you can check this for which version you are running)...8 is great on the new Windows Vista/7 operating system, but not all of America can afford to upgrade all our operating systems from XP to the newer Vista or Windows 7. IE 8 will open multiple tabs when you click on links in the body of emails---well, these extra tabs will never open and freeze up your computer (making it appear like they never opened.)<br> <br>Have you noticed having troubles recently using the Internet? Freezing up or not being able to click on a link on a webpage or email? If so, it's all Internet Explorer 8's fault if you are still running XP. One way to know for sure is to open your task manager (r-click the blue bar at the bottom of your Windows and choose 'task manager') and click on the PROCESSES tab. If you see iexplore.exe more than once, that is why you can not open these links. Blame it all on the IE 8 upgrade done by Windows Update.<br> <br>How to make it all better? Search for IE7-WindowsXP download, Uninstall Internet Explorer 8 using CONTROL PANEL>ADD REMOVE PROGRAMS, and then reinstall Internet Explorer 7. ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[lmiller]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jan 27th 2010 10:42AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2010/01/26/more-flaws-discovered-in-internet-explorer-could-pose-threat/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2010/01/26/more-flaws-discovered-in-internet-explorer-could-pose-threat/</guid><description><![CDATA[Way to advertise how to manipulate Explorer!]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Tray]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jan 27th 2010 11:38AM</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
