How to make your Windows machine more stable and secure
muzzy:
Word to word responses, mud slinging eh?
The way you discuss about IE, you just throw random things at the table, and when I point out how these things work, you're saying I accuse some third party for the problems you're experiencing while you'd prefer to blame Microsoft for their design decisions.
Technical issues aren't opinions, technical issues are FACTS. You cannot argue about facts, unless you're arguing about validity of them. If people have differing views, they're either discussing opinions or only one of them is right. I've been trying to discuss facts about the design of IE and its implications on security. Either I'm right or I'm wrong, other people's opinions can't change FACTS. If you don't believe me, there's no need to. Just say so, it's ok if you don't have solid knowledge about the subject, but I really really dislike it when you don't understand what I'm saying, and attack some interpretation of yours and expect me to defend it, or simply refuse to comment and instead say something completely unrelated.
And could you PLEASE read this post through a few times before you choose to reply? If you just grab on words sentence at a time, you're guaranteed to just annoy me again and not contribute to discussion (as if there's any discussion left here anymore)
Calum:
while i think it's great that you have calmed down enough to communicate effectively again, i really think it's better if i don't reply specifically, since i am not an expert on how IE works, but also because as you say, there's little to no discussion left, if there ever was any in the first place, given that the subject is primarily factual, rather than interpretational.

Flamebait aside two people have replied to this thread in a reasonable manner, why not just respond to them?
muzzy:
I tried respond to orethius above, and what comes to system updates, I wasn't aware that the autoupdated depends on IE. Is this the case? I could do some research later.
Regarding the windowsupdate site, yeah, IE dependency there is kind of an issue, traditional approach to writing a standalone update application in the first place would've been better. I don't think there's any malice involved, though. Someone just thought it'd be good to have a kind of "application service provider" type of approach there.

But yo can't despute the fact tha Microsoft put Internet Explorer there push Netscape out in the first place.
