IE Flaw Utilizes Google Desktop Search

abscondment writes "An error in the way Internet Explorer parses CSS files has been discovered by Matan Gillon of Israel. The flaw can be exploited by any website, and used to access personal information via Google's Desktop Search program. Of course, Google contends that this is a flaw with IE, and not their search software."

No, the problem isn't the Windows platform, it's the insistance of Microsoft to use Internet Explorer for every web application on the Windows platform.

Why doesn't Google just use Mozilla's engine to render the content? (They are putting money into its development) They *would* have more control.
