IE Vulnerabilities Page Removed

Henry V .009 writes "PivX Solutions has removed its (in)famous Unpatched IE Vulnerabilities page. Is Microsoft really getting better? From the site: 'Given Microsoft's recent positive actions together with the current rise in attacks against IE we have agreed to give Microsoft a good faith reprieve and have taken down our 'Unpatched' page. This was done in both a spirit of cooperation and for the good of the internet as a whole. As the ubiquitous browser that is utilized to access the internet, we all depend on IE too much to have crooks, social deviants, malcontents and crackers from messing with our lifestyles and our livelihoods. ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!'"

    we all depend on IE too much to have crooks, social deviants, malcontents and crackers from messing with our lifestyles and our livelihoods.

    Any time one piece of software from one company can be responsible for such negative impact on our lives because of how poorly it was designed, while still remaining far and away the dominant product in its category in spite of superior software being readily available, that's a sign that the ill effects of monopoly power are at play.
