Default Re: OT: Stop IE

ahh, I dont beleive the is true, I know I said I would not reply again, but this is not exactly the same topic about w3c... anyway, I do not beleive this is true...

It is bad I agree about viruses and the whole dark side, but there will always be people wanting to make a name for themselves, and it is just unfortunate, IE's bigness is its downfall, I hate this comparisson, but why did the terrorists strike the world trade center isntead of some house far away...? You always want to target the biggest possible audiance with as little effort.

If I write a virus, would I target something with a small user share or a big one? as I said, if mozilla became really big, I am sure we will start seing holes there.

I do agree with you about how if this was to close, security companies may start to fail, but then again, p2p, IM and loads of other areas exist where people could get viruses, and remember it is not usually about hacking or security, but just money, look how many good or real programs come with bundled applications?

I think there will always be a need for security, but at the same time I do not think it is a conspiracy!

now that has been said! I am done again on this topic, but I may repond to posts like that which are not about the same thing over and over again...
