Interesting read, whitphil. Whether any of this is true or not may soon become a
moot point. MS plans to release IE7 in the near future, probably to coincide with
full release of Vista. From what I've read WinXP sp2 and Vista will be the only OS's
to use IE7, leaving the rest of Widows Systems, as well as IE6, in the un-enviable
position that Win9x now occupies. Everyone just wishes it would go away, except those
of us, who, for one reason or another continue to keep it alive.
Mozilla FireFox seems,to me, to be in the best position to pick-up a significant
amount of the fall-out from Vista/IE7. So, it should come as no suprise that FixeFox
is getting more and more attention from the Malware creators among us. The revealing
aspect of this report, for me is, who's doing something about the problems that have
been identified. Mozilla clearly wins that one.
The real villians,in this report are, in my opinion, zdnet and Symantec. zdnet for
biased reporting by not verifying the opinions expressed by Symantec with others
in the Industry, and Symantec for only addressing issues verified by MS and Mozilla.
Musta had deadlines to meet.
It's all politics, nothing to base a decision on. The more alarming part of this
report, if true, is that the focus has shifted from browsers and servers, to the
end-users. That's us. That's something to make decisions about.
Regards BW
