Internet Explorer allowed Chinese spies to hack gmail accounts

Of course, Microsoft is telling everyone to upgrade from IE 6 and XP to Win7 and IE 8, even though IE 7 and 8 still contain the vulnerability! Isn’t this the same company that was saying Google’s Chrome Frame made IE less secure – I’m not sure how that’s even possible at this point.

Using Internet Explorer – any version – is simply irresponsible. Every alternative, from Firefox to Safari to Chrome to Opera, is a better choice.
