The IE Blues

Mark points out a major crashing bug in the latest version of Internet Explorer for Windows. When you visit a page like this test page it will crash IE and all other applications that embed the IE engine. The scary thing is how simple the code is:


<html>

<form>

<input type>

</form>

</html>

So now email virii only have to embed that HTML and it will bring down a bunch of windows applications. Fun!

*sigh* Why do people still use the IE/Windows combination? Sure it's "convenient" 'cause it's there, but it's hardly convenient when your files start getting infected. Microsoft has proven to me they can't make a secure browser.
