>>>
A major security hole discovered in Microsoft's Internet Explorer last week has become a golden marketing opportunity for alternative browsers such as Mozilla and Opera unaffected by the flaw.

To avoid falling prey to a concerted attack aiming to steal logon information and passwords, some security experts advised Web surfers to turn off some Internet Explorer (IE) features or switch browsers as the best immediate fix. Unknown attackers who had taken control of several Web servers used the flaw last week to install a remote access program, dubbed JS.Scob.Trojan, onto the PCs of visitors to those sites.

"I hope that Microsoft will come up with a patch soon," said Johannes Ullrich, chief technology officer for the Internet Storm Center, a site that monitors network threats. "Until they do, you basically have two choices: Disable JavaScript in Internet Explorer or install another browser."

I rarely ever use IE too. Infact, it's not even in my dock anymore.

I just wish that Apple would make a version of Safari for Windows.  I have to sit on my shitty PC all day with Microshit IE on it with Microshit Windows.  At least my homepage is set to Apple.com![/size]

Hey, Apple makes AppleWorks for Windows, as well as Quicktime and the iPods.  So I don't think it would be too far-fetched for them to make Safari for Windows.[/size]

It is because it would be next to impossible to break into internet browser market. Windows makes their own. Asking for safari is like asking for the finder application to be ported....that of course is a bit crazy.

Firefox is the best option. Just for the record. But as BFG said it isn't much of one.

the reason i don't want the email app bundled in is because A) i never really use email, B) i already have a seperate email app.
and yeah, firefox still sucks. why don't people who make PC apps try to put a sexy interface or something on it. it's just ugly. and the download manager doesn't let you continue downloads after you close firefox...whats the point in having a pause button.
