“Web standards champions have launched a campaign urging Web surfers to abandon Internet Explorer. The Web Standards Project’s ‘Browse Happy’ campaign has a look-&-feel reminiscent of Apple’s ‘Switch’ campaigns,” Macworld UK reports. “The Web site’s front page proclaims: ‘Internet Explorer can make your computer unsafe. Why not switch to a browser that’s more secure?’ The campaign reflects advice from Internet security experts, who last month advised users to seek alternatives to Microsoft’s market-dominant browser.” Full article here.
“For those still using (IE), the Web is becoming an unpleasant place,” the group’s Web site states. “Pop-up windows, insidious spyware, and viruses that transmit through its lax security make life difficult and costly for users. Innovative features available elsewhere that make the Web quicker, more accessible and more useful haven’t found their way into IE. Microsoft has been slow to respond to these problems.”
The Browse Happy site is here.
MacDailyNews Take: This will no doubt be quite a shocker for the 95% of Windows users who think Microsoft Internet Explorer is the Internet.
Perfusionista:
I can totally admit that alot of the sh!t that comes from redmond is exactly that, Sh!t. But, they do still have a few products (Out of the hundreeds they make) that are unmatched. As far as Windows goes. It can be a pain in my rear, but i wouldnt call it shit. I’d call it “Still needs alot of work” (About another 10-15yrs to match Unix, remember Unix has been around twice as long and out of the thousands of vulnerabilities found over the past 20 yrs, the Unix swiss cheese knowone ever mentions has almost become cheddar.). I typically dont have the issues most users face with wintel boxes.
Thomas: You can remove it safely but you’ll at least need SUS on Windows server to get updates, because as most of you already know, you have to have IE for Windows Update, and I would suggest not using AU.
Instructions for removing can be found here:

I usually dont get rid of it, just turn it off.
