You got it all wrong. That particular problem has more to do with Athlon processors than with Internet Exploder.

Watch out before you run it! You wouldn't want to lose that Xanga post you've been working on.

[about slashdot's 'failure' to treat MS and FOSS screw-ups with equal equanimity] Why not offer equal critiques, and understanding, for any product regardless.
It has taken more than a decade of loathsome business practices, corrupt corporate ethics, and abusively bad coding practices for Microsoft to earn the unique status it holds on Slashdot and other fora where people who've been in the business for a while congregate. Would you deny Microsoft the community recognition it has strived so hard for so long to achieve?

If you crash your car when driving over ice, did that ice "attack" you?
If you drive your car off a bridge and into a lake, did that lake "attack" you?
Yes, yes and yes. At least that's what I'm telling my insurance company.

Don't worry about it guys. I sent Microsoft an Error Report so I'm sure they'll get right on the problem as well.
