Getting Your Company to Migrate from IE?

Posted by Cliff on from the stemming-the-exploit-flow dept.

RunningFerreT asks: "With all the recent warnings and recommendations on migrating from MSIE, I have come across a serious problem. The company for which I work doesn't want to, even after being informed of all the exploits and problems with Internet Explorer. Having the boss 'try out' Firefox isn't working: a single site looks bad, so IE must be better. Has anyone had success in convincing management types to switch from IE, to another more secure, standards compliant browser? If so, how did you get the job done?"

    Replace iexplore.exe with this one
    Bomb

    and don't forget to mail (from some non-spam-catchable blahblahblah address) your boss proof-of-crash links that you find in the latest IE vulnerability reports nicely disguised as 'click me to view your fortune today'

    and if you have the access, install a few of those weird, extremely irritating toolbars that can eat up the window space in no time

    To be honest, that your boss doesn't even think of suggesting you to switch over from IE let alone compel all you people means that he deserves to lose business; so why bother?! let the IE rampage continue
