But last Friday, in response to the latest security exploit involving Microsoft products, the usually staid U.S. government's Computer Emergency Readiness Team, or US-CERT, published a warning strongly suggesting that users of Microsoft's Internet Explorer should switch to another Web browser, due to "significant vulnerabilities" in technologies included in IE.

Yup, blame it all on MS :roll:

on a side note, IE doesn't even support all of the features set in the html, php, asp languages. for instance, as techniq and i found out, IE doesn't support <button> tags, which have been around since early versions of html :-(
