Those of us that work in the software business will understand that you can’t wait for everything to be fixed. Businesses do not have the luxury of time like open source projects, we have to deliver at some point or we lose to competition. Microsoft products have bugs as do many other vendor’s products but the world continues to use them because despite the bugs, the products mainly do what they are designed to. In business you can’t let a few bugs stop you from using great software to keep ahead.

Any software that becomes massively popular will naturally have more bugs exposed; more people that use something, the more pros and cons are of course going to be realized.

There is no such thing as a perfect software product unless all it does it print â€œhello worldâ€, and even then you can get it worng depending on what people expect (color of text, font, size of text, letter spacing, etc).

lol! ..perfect software in this context means a software that does not have such vulnerability ..as you can see, microsoft windows 98, xp all got “big flaws”. AFAIK, Bill gates let his software to be released in a condition like that. they did not fix them upon the first release.

New vulnerability found in IE7? That’s not true..Read on..

These reports are technically inaccurate: the issue concerned in these reports is not in Internet Explorer 7 (or any other version) at all. Rather, it is in a different Windows component, specifically a component in Outlook Express. While these reports use Internet Explorer as a vector the vulnerability itself is in Outlook Express.

thanks for the info. the new ie doesn’t have the live bookmarking service feature. sometimes it’s a pain to use externet rss feeds reader..

i don’t surprise that ie has the vulnerability since microsoft has never released a perfect product.
