BBC says "Avoid Explorer"

twitter writes "Citing security flaws that lead to ads and spys on Microsoft infested computers the BBC in this article recomends avoiding Internet Explorer." Ain't it the truth? Mostly its about adware & spyware and other wretched bits of software that make the internet suck a little more each day.

    At last, someone is telling it like it is. WinXX itself is a virus and being deployed on a box is prima facia evidence the box is infested!


    Not only does MS 'phone home' with your private information, it is arrogant in the extreme to declare in its EULAs that they, NOT you, should determine what should or should not be on your own PC and IF you want to patch a security hole in media player 6.4 you have to agree to such nonsense.


    It's no wonder WinXX users are abandoning MS emass in favor of true security and freedom from oppressive EULAs and license fees.
