Sorry we don't agree
The link to this page used to have a suitable warning that by clicking you
would get a demo of how unreliable IE is, and it contained several bugs that
would crash several versions of IE and windows.
I have removed this functionality from this page for the following reasons:
- I don't have to prove anything, if you don't believe me and you're happy
with what you have, good for you.
- I have better things to do than to keep up with the IE security hole of the
week, besides it would mean that I'd have to run IE and windows, and test
the bugs.
- One recent IE bug at the time I write this would allow me to overwrite the
windows kernel of most windows systems, then crash your machine and leave
you with a system that doesn't reboot. Showing you that your system can
be crashed is one thing, but blowing away your windows installation is too
extreme for me, but some others do not hesitate to put this harmful code
on their pages. Some details can be found on
this page
- Guess what, some people would get angry at me for showing them that tneir
machine can be crashed so easily, instead of getting angry at the people
who wrote that code they're using...
Given the answer that brought you to this page, I take it you're probably not
interested, but just in case, here are two links dealing with microsoft:
1 and
2. They have a lot of information, but
since there is lots to read, I more specifically recommend the following
articles:
Why Microsoft must be
boycotted (short version)
Microsoft's bag of dirty tricks
The Six Serendipities of Microsoft
A Case Study in Suppressing Innovation and Competition
Microsoft Makes its Move on Java
Manifest Destiny, Delayed
The Case for Eminent Domain
My goal is not to quick out people who are stuck with windoze or IE for some
reason or another, I just hope that you'll take some time to learn a little bit
more about the company whose products you are using
