Yes, you should keep on using Internet Explorer like a good M$ zealot because we all know that more patches will fix everything...

Come on, I really find it very hard to believe that anyone still uses IE except those people who are too uninformed/lazy to realize that there is something else out there. Really, are there any features in IE that you NEED and are not available in an alternative? And if you can answer yes to that question then you should ask yourself -- is feature xyz worth having scramble for patches while still exposing yourself to the range of exploits out there? Or is it simply to difficult to download and install a piece of software on your own?
