    ...it will take for it to be compromised. Is it a matter of minutes or hours?

    Wait until it's a forced download on windows update.. then you'll have to redo a new set of hacks to make ie7 work!

    Somehow without breaking IE6 for those that avoided the update...

  3. MS upgraded the Interwebs by xsspd2004 · · Score: 0, Redundant

    Wows, the Interwebs can have tabs. You can see more than one! Plus, MS invented a thing called Feeds where you can subscribe to see Internet changes!!!!!!! Microsoft is the roxors!!!! What will they think of next?

    Does it run on Linux?

    Yes, mod me flamebait, but does it?(I mean there is IES4LINUX.COM)
    When are we getting away from OS being able to use whatever website?- It should not be which OS we are running, but which compliant browser we are running.

    If the browser is not compliant, then the OS should not even enter the picture. (In a perfect world)

    What about DRM? I've managed to keep the evil beast off my Win2k computers by only clicking about half the windows update "critical patched", but i'm not seeing anything on whether or not ie7 requires DRM.
    I suppose with so many users using WinXP (with integrated DRM & Bloat!!!) it's not a common question, but some of us like the windows interface AND freedom from malware/spyware.
    I won't have a virtual win2k installation I can test it with until I get back from my current trip, but i AM sort of curious about it.
    disclaimer: I also run Debian, and used to be a HP-UX admin, so my using a windows interface should NOT get me negative mod points. I like games, and win2ks is a rock steady server.
