    Yeah, I'm a developer and I've installed a stand-alone version of IE7 so that I can still check stuff in IE6. Regardless, I primarily develop for Firefox because, yeah.

    When talking about limiting, monitoring, and controlling a given user's Internet access within a company, why not just hire better people.

    You can't control how badly the average user will mess things up but perhaps you can control the skill level of the average user within a company. If employees are good then they'll know to not click on suspicious links, waste company time chatting, or open suspicious attachments. Also, I believe that if a company would rather censor mediocre employees than hire good ones then part of the problem actually rests with that company's management.

    Of course, "good employees" screw up just like bad ones but simply employing people who know not to make dumbass mistakes seems like a better solution, with this issue as well as in general, than attempting to block those mistakes.

    I realize this is an idealistic perspective; still, I think it makes sense.
