USE IE...SSL is INSECURE....OOPS

Update: Konquerer released a fix, Opera 6.05 includes the fix, moxilla, no issue, netscape - unknown, IE still debating the validity of the bug.

Hmm. Opera may be closed source, but they certainly try to keep up to date, and appear to have no problem accepting bugs and fixing them, and I believe it is now the most standards compliant browser on the web (according to their website statement).
M$ take note, it is possible to have a good reputation and be closed source - It's called customer response.

Or for the Linux/UNIX version of Oprah, v6.03 has the bug fixes:

You see that there is the problem. We are conditioned by long term use. I hate M$ (I think I may have said that before) but I keep with the bloody assumption of Windows.
I try to kick it, I'm a preacher to my family and friends for conversion (I have very very few who still use Hotmail), Calum brought me up on it a while back, and still I do it.
I think it is because M$ is so easy to use, you don't need to think when you use it, and that is a fearsomely contagious disease, and it spreads fast once you're infected.
voidmain:
Well, you don't have to think when you use it as long as it's not broken, and you don't have to do anything useful. I used DOS/Windows before I got in to UNIX (well Windows 3.0 was the latest Windows release at that time). After learning UNIX I feel extremely hampered when using windows. It's a severely boxed in feeling with hardened limiting borders. I to this day have not found the borders in UNIX.

You just have to try Linux. And you have to really try. Because when I first did, it took me about a week before I was really in the swing of things, and usually it does take some time to get used to. There are so many people that if they try somthing, they want immediate resutls. They will hate it until they are fully comfortable with it. This is not a good thing. Though there will likely be headaches in the beginning. In the long run Linux will reduce them several times over. Its just getting past that first week or two. And Linux not nearly as hard to install as it has traditionally been. Look, M$ is out to screw you over. They want to squeeze every little penny out of you that they can. Linux is the cure for the disease your talking about. After a little while, you'll find that its not that hard to use actually.
