Internet Explorer 7 Beta 3 Reviewed
An anonymous reader writes to mention a review of the latest Beta release for Internet Explorer 7 on Paul Thurrott's SuperSite. From the article: "While it's not enough to make me switch from Firefox yet--I still love certain Firefox features such as inline search--it's no longer an object of ridicule either. IE 7.0 Beta 3 includes huge functional and security advantages of IE 6 and is an absolute no brainer for anyone choosing to stick with IE. If you are an IE user, head over to the Microsoft Web site and pick up IE 7.0 Beta 3 today." ZDNet has some first impressions of the release as well.
I think I speak for everyone when I say 'Fuck every site in existence that was targeted to a fictional standard.'.
If corporations are people, aren't stockholders guilty of slavery?
Anyone who equates microsoft with security is either a fool or a liar!
Anything designed by microsoft is engineered from bottom to top as an
invasive, relentless spy on whoever's system it is on. Microsoft has
never found a dollar it did not like and will happily sell its users down the river to anyone for a crooked dollar from any thug with a buck and business plan...or a government willing to pay to persecute
its citizens. All microsoft systems are designed with the furtherance
of these goals in mind. All ye who want 'security from XP' look in vain for it. Microsoft meant it when it said that it could forcibly
'update' any and all XP systems with its poisonous 'upgrade 2!'. No matter what one sets in the 'services', the system will accept hidden
downloads, registry changes, remote admin commands, and probably key
loggers as well. I am done with it. I surf only with linux and have
disconnected windows systems on all the computers on my business network from the internet. Only linux surfs the net in our shop, and that is how it will stay. To hell with microsoft.
