Your points are well taken and understandable. But if you are supporting a M$ operating system enough to need to read the SB's, then wouldnt your IE be up to date to read them? Even if you would just use IE to read M$'s site? To sit and scream about web design decisions in this mailing group seems a little childish. And if one was to argue that "Aanyone needs to read these articles not just people that support M$ OS's", well to that...most people that have a M$ OS as an end user have auto update turned on and dont even think twice about it...if they update at all.
I took Nick's comments differently. The way I understood it, the problem is that Microsoft forces you to use a scripting language to read a security article. A scripting language could have security problems. As a result, many people have JavaScript disabled for security reasons, regardless of their version of IE. I agree with Nick. It is ironic and unfortunate that MS would force users to turn on a potentially unsafe scripting language to read a security bulletin. -- Troy _______________________________________________ Full-Disclosure - We believe in it.
