BBC and CERT have been advising people not to use Internet Explorer, but now even Slate (which, BTW, is owned by Microsoft) is telling people it’s time to switch to a decent browser.

It’s nice to see that people won’t put up with crap. For a long time I’ve had little faith in the intelligence of the general computing population for all that people just unhesitatingly accept, but it looks like people are finally starting to wake up. And it’s not hard to see why: Microsoft is recommending that people simply disable Javascript because it has too many security issues! Well, no thanks; some sites require Javascript. If you can’t deliver, we’ll go to someone who can.
