There has been a hole in Microsoft Internet Explorer 6, it hangs for sometime while you try to browse to anyweb site.
Microsoft sent and update that is Internet Explorer 7 but it needs geniuine Windows verifiction which means mostly people who don't have Registered copy of Windows they can't
install internet explorer 7 from the web.
This has degraced the popularity of Internet Explorer in users and nearly every one has dropped Internet Explorer and are using other browers.

Hi, will you please tell me in detail, what really concerns you in IE 6.0?

I think a lot of people are dropping IE and going to Mozilla Firefox. I personally use both. I find that for somethings it is easier to use Firefox rather than IE and vise versa. I have the new IE 7 and I am not totally impressed with it. I have had some issues like not being able to open PDF files which I can easily do with Firefox. I guess it's just a matter of what people prefer.

Well I dont knwo about most users since I dont have any statistics on it. But I for one am still using Internet Explorer and have no problems using it. Maybe the reason is that I have a registered windows installed and my software keeps updating on its own since I have a 24 hour connectivity to the internet. Can you please provide a source of the information that you have quoted in your post. Would really appreciate a resonse on it soon

ya rite...
i use netscape instead of IE now...!
but than..
how would u feel if u create a million dollar software which worths hundreds of dollars in the market and people selling the stolen copies for few bucks illegaly..without buying any rights to sell...
so i guess microsoft is doing the rite thing..this would help reduce piracy..
and i m sure they would be earning a lot more now than they were before ...
