    It may be that the same thing is mentioned twice in a very short summary of the story, but that the same thing is mentioned twice in a very short summary of the story does obfuscate the lack of content. That is why the same thing is mentioned twice in a very short summary of the story. Why else would it be that the same thing is mentioned twice in a very short summary of the story?

    What does this even mean? Is it the same 0-day? Is it a different 0-day? Can we get some editing up in this bitch or what?

    With Microsoft you can make every day a 0 day!

    I'll feed the AC....

    What is everyone addiction to setting the homepage? I can see defaulting to a company intraweb or some portal. But WTF if someone feels they are more productive with some random web app or other data source or even google as their home page why lock them out of it?

    I guess some sort of Kiosk, but there are better special built kiosk apps that work better than IE. (though they may use IE to render)

    Maybe I'm missing the point.

    well, the reason to use ms's enterprise deployment of ie settings is that then you can make the browsing experience secure.

    oh wait..
