Internet Explorer and order

http://www.news.com has this article about:
Pennsylvania State University's Information Technology Services department recommending that students download other browsers to reduce attacks through vulnerabilities in the Microsoft software.
"We're not telling people to wipe off IE, because you need IE to do operating-system updates," Robin Anderson, a spokeswoman for Penn State's ITS department, said in an interview. "We're telling (students) there are alternatives--and for them to strongly look at those."

If you read carefully the second paragraph above, it could be interpretted as "If MS didn't require Internet Explorer for Windows Update, we could have recommended users to uninstall IE" or something like that.

The IE team is back in the business and has a blog now and is asking user's feedback. There is also a rumour that the old timers are coming together to make it big again. Please feel free to drop by their blog and leave your feedback.

Not a day goes by w/o me reading about another IE vulnarability. Here is my 2 cents for the IE team. The only features our customers would love to see and want is "Security", "Security" and more "Security". I do not take the excuses that some people give about IE being the most dominant browser and so it the center of attention. If it is so dominant and under scrutiny, why isn't that MS isn't putting few hundred more people to work on security and weed out the last security issues???!!
