Why is it that Vista and Windows 7 always get the goodies?

Because good old XP is far outdated, and malware coders, exploiters and such are focusing on the newer systems. I still use XP though.

Indeed, IE is an outdated browser compared to next generation browser such as Firefox and Opera. IE is far too prone to simple exploits that give IE massive holes in the browsers security.

I only use Firefox anyways.
Interesting information though, thanks for the warning.

What a fascinating thing. It's good then that I realised how rubbish Internet Explorer is all those years ago, and then switched to the more secure Firefox.
I'm going to have to show this to some members of my family, who won't let go of Internet Explorer. Maybe this will finally convince them to switch lol.
