Yeah, but Firefox’s bugs are really weird. For instance, right now every time I type an apostrophe or a slash the focus switches to the “find on page” box. Plus the arrow keys and the ins/home/del keys don’t (damn it there it goes again) work anymore. I’ve (aaagh) also had it crash numerous times trying to load Java (plus it takes like 2 minutes to load it). I switched from Mozilla Suite to Firefox because Mozilla Mail stopped connecting to my server for no reason, but now I pretty much regret it. I should have stayed with Mozilla Suite. The problems with IE are solvable. With Firefox they’r (@#$@#$@$) not and they come and go like it’s (I better restart before I go insane) programmed by a bunch of idiots… which it seems it is. IE has huge faults in the privacy and security departments, but at least it is stable. Plus Firefox’s pop-up blocker doesn’t (…..) work anymore and it’shandling of MIME types is garbage–literally, since I get a page full of garbage instead of a movie file sometimes. WMV is a movie, it is not text. If I wanted it to be text, I’dlkjnslgfkj download it.

So the point is that because he can look at code that he doesn’t understand or have a clue what the code is doing he sleeps better.

I’d suggest getting a life.

No surprise for me here. Any software that become widely used will show more and more bugs. It’s a surprise only to those who think Microsoft’s softwares are badly done, wich is not true. Every software is full of bugs. Sorry bad english.

This could make it harder for Firefox and the other open source browsers to break into more conservative markets

the fact IE is the defacto browser for windows system is the problem. microcrap knows this and is why they bundle this junk with their crappy software – why search for something else when you have something that works ok already?

In software that you can’t see inside or what changes were made to “fix” a problem you never know what was done. So many scams and bs have been pulled on computer users they have every right to be suspicious. One of the real erkers to me is the music industry which tried some of this at one time to make modifications to your computer software through music cds you purchased. Not really a music cd if it does that is it? Its software modifications, unannounced on the packaging I might add, make it not a music cd but a software cd. Does being a software make such a cd fall under different laws and regulations? I am sure it does. However, as to what laws would be pertitent and to what extent is a grey area. This commentor has no earthly idea of the effects of such changes to ones operating systems or even its compatibility effects on the rest of the system.

Microsucks has long been known for its rush to sell and fix it later practices. It has also long been known for its predatory business practices which has gone a long way towards closing the doors on competive businesses. Both have been at consumers expense as competion is usually the driver that gives the consumer the end benefit of a better product. Mircosucks usual practice is to blame the consumer for any problems experienced with its products until it can’t cover it with that excuse anymore. At that time they get on the ball and release something else to make yet another patch until the internet superhighway is nothing but a pothole road with attempts to cover temporarily the problem with yet another necessary patch.

Microsucks has long been the enabler of allowing third party spyware and cookies to access your computer. Were it not so, none of the spyware would work. It is a victim of its own success and its own drive to remove competion. The security issues around IE have long been there. Microsucks refuses to do anything that will not allow those third parties access as in much of it they have to buy a license to use certain programs and code from Microsucks in order for said spyware to be effective. That same sort of access has been used to also make sure that viruses and trojans and the like are effective. No writer of such malware knows what is on your computer. They have to guess what file might be there to attach to. Microsucks has ensured that they can guess with near certainty as to some of the file names being as better than 90% of the world uses the same OS. Thats a large security hole.

Microsucks was not impressed with the users of its product and its holes in IE till a national alert was put out of the security holes within its browers and the recommendation that people change to another browser. Within a very short time after that, low and behold SP2 was out to fix the problem. SP2 was a problem of its own causing countless problems with the install to users. Another rush to patch that lead to much heartache that of course the user was responcible for.
