IE Patched in Record Time

Microsoft has patched the critical flaw in its Internet Explorer browser in mere days. Good job! If you have Windows Automatic Update turned on you should already be patched depending on when you have set your PC to download and install the fix.

With more and more people aware of the problem it was incumbent upon Bill to fix the problem before even more folks ditched IE for more secure browsers such as Opera or Firefox. Either you're part of the problem or part of the solution and although Microsoft was late in embracing the Internet it seems they are moving towards being less of a vector for malware, spyware, viruses, etc. Let's hope the upcoming IE 8 is an even better experience for the vast number of users who, for some reason, never get the itch to try other browsers.
