Second flaw in IE7 ... is it really a flaw?
-
I really love his comparison between Firefox and Microsoft Word, which ends with the suggestion that Word is no longer needed because FF2 ships with an English spell checker. If you can bare to read any further into his blog, make sure you are sitting firmly in your chair or you may just fall out of it laughing. My god, it is rare to see such blatent bias - even Jeremy doesn't go quite that far when Macs get brought up in the Lounge! ;P I particularly like the half page of writing bitching about IE7's search providers, simply because he couldn't be bothered to read the one line of instructions on how to use them. :rolleyes:

My god, I just hex-edited IE7's exe * and replaced it with the code of a virus, and now when I run it I've got a virus. Fire the lot of them, I say * Actually, I didn't
-- Help me! I'm turning into a grapefruit! Buzzwords!
Try to find something smarter. Touching a .exe is not the same than touching data that ends up in every one's face through the rendering engine. Don't see the flaw? the IE team sanitizes the feed before it gets stored, and then they do nothing before it's rendered on the screen using a web browser that is capable of very nefarious things. Get it now?

I voted you a 1.0 on this message and the one where you mention criminals, because the content of those messages is utter drivel. And that is being polite to your other responses on this thread. Still, if it helps you to feel important, I promise not to waste time voting on future messages.

I've been [un]fortunate enough to upgrade about a dozen computer illeterate users to IE7 this week and I have not noticed any of them having problems setting up Google as their default search provider. It really is as simple as one-two-three. If you've found it otherwise, I suspect you were either looking to find problems regardless or you were looking to do it the FF way. Neither scenario will apply to IE7s target users.

Yes, I have Frontpage 2003. I use it to manage my SharePoint portals due to its tight integration with all the supporting technologies.

Check your reading comprehension add-in for Firefox, I don't think it was updated after the 2.0 release. Then you can try reading my message again.

On the one hand, i don't think it's a big deal. On the other hand, Microsoft probably did, seeing as how one of the obvious changes between IE6 and IE7 was to force an address bar into popups, for the single stated reason of making it harder to spoof legit windows. If it's too easy to spoof a URL, then that effectively negates the whole reason for it to exist - so yeah, it's a flaw. Even if i used IE7, this wouldn't be the sort of thing that'd have me worried at all, but i can at least see why it'd be reported as a flaw.
every night, i kneel at the foot of my bed and thank the Great Overseeing Politicians for protecting my freedoms by reducing their number, as if they were deer in a state park. -- Chris Losinger, Online Poker Players?
The reason I question it being described as a flaw is that the moment you click on the new window the address will clearly change to that of the spoofed site, effectively making the window useless.

For you Stephane, I will always find time to vote. Seriously though, learn to read in English. I am frightened you really don't understand my response.
