See, this is why IE6 is kind of becoming a secure browser. Because fewer people are using it now, and hackers who work their way into browsers to cause trouble are going to pick browsers that are more popular so they affect more people in one shot. Makes sense, right?
You know Tim, I usually just ignore the backasswards things you say. This one is just ridiculous though. Your argument is so flawed I can only assume you're purposely attempting to troll us all. In which case, mission accomplished. I can't wait for you to have your bank/CC info stolen because you use IE6, it's going to be the most satisfying day ever. If no one bothers exploiting IE6, how come Google and 20+ other major companies just got hacked by the Chinese government primarily (by my understanding of it) through IE6 vulnerabilities?

Yeah, he trolled, and you took the bait. :bigggrin:
Maybe Microsoft does have a point. If the tables were turned and IE were the minority browser, would the recent events been any different, other than incurred on browsers of a different name?
