Translation: IE is very broke and Microsoft doesn't have any fixes yet. Your PC could be hijacked or erased by any web page that puts exploit code in it. Use another browser like Mozilla, Firefox, or Opera.

Ah, but you don't have that choice when clicking on a .chm file on a local hard drive.

I personally cannot stand my browser and email mixed so I run Firefox at home, but still is not in a place for me to install it on my clients systems.

You must remember that many of the exploits of IE are because of the features of IE. Feature we use everyday that seem simple but when you are use to them it is hard to do without.

I might be soon though. I am very excited about Thunderbird, just needs an integrated calendar and active sync compatibility. (though my larger clients will still run Exchange/Outlook)
