Just read this article:

Should IE stay or should IE go?


Duh. Should malaria stay or go?

What a bullshit apology for the status quo. Barely disguised Microsoft propaganda. To wit:
Internet Explorer's vulnerability to attack might in part be because it's rich in features and thereby presents a larger "attack surface."

In other words, it's bloat-ware, with a lot of dangerous bundled features a superior browser doesn't want or need.

Rodney Thayer, you are a Microsoft whore. ( And a gay right-wing male escort?) Makes me suspect this whole rag is just a front for promoting Microsoft products.

And I think I figured out now why the Bill Gates Foundation supports The Discovery Institute -- because they probably recognize the debate between natural selection and intelligent design as a proxy for the conflict between open source and closed source software development. It's another front for Microsoft flunkies to advance their delusional self-serving ideology.

I love that quote... that's just too darned clever!
