Commentary (ZDNet)
Is it time to bail from Internet Explorer?

COMMENTARY--The upside of having one software company design all your applications is that it's easy to make them all interoperate. The problem is that if one program breaks, it might break another seemingly unrelated program as well. Take, for instance, Internet Explorer. You wouldn't think a problem in Internet Explorer 6 could compromise your privacy in MSN Messenger 4.x, but up until recently, it could. And unfortunately, a new patch from Microsoft does not plug all of the browser's security holes.

As reported last Friday, malicious users could gain access to MSN Messenger's e-mail addresses and contact lists under the right conditions.
