"The saga of Internet Explorer, the piece of software that once brought the Department of Justice to the brink of breaking up Microsoft, continues to eat away at the company. Several Microsoft employees have been reporting on their blogs that they feel the browser is not receiving adequate attention from upper management, and that it reflects badly on Microsoft as a result."

But what says MS has to follow the standards? IE is the leading web-brower on the market. If web-sites want customers to their sites they want their site to look good at the brower that has the biggest market-share. Why bother to code for the rest if that cost extra money and donīt give so much in return?
There is a reason why there is a web standard, to ease development of website on any browsers. Did you see how the source codes of particular beautiful website were a mess, hard to maintain? Updating these pages take a lot of times.
For me IE is safe as long as I visit sites like my internet-bank. My point is that it is up to the user how safe IE will be.
In that case, you, as user, should put a pressure for your internet-bank managers to redesign their website to be standard complain instead of doing nothing.
I use IE because the online-help for my CAD-program doesnīt look good in Opera or FF. And as I wrote.....IE is safe for me for those sites I visit.
The reason is CAD program is optimised for IE.
