A second critical bug in Internet Explorer
Do you know the difference between "nelgigent" and "reckless"? Ask a lawyer if you need to know for sure, but basically "negligent" is when you don't shovel the snow off your front walk and someone slips and gets hurt. "Reckless" is when you still don't shovel it after the first person got hurt.
By now my opinion is that running the "blue E" is reckless. I'll tell you the smae thing if you pay for for a security evaluation. The version that will ship with Vista is supposed to be better: let's see how it holds up in the field.
Microsoft suggests workarounds for the new problem, which is yet another where someone can take over your machne if you simply visit their web site.
