Internet Explorer Guru Exits Microsoft

For many of us, Internet Explorer has never been our first choice of browser for surfing the web. It's been built into Windows for years, and force-fed to us, mostly because (I think) we needed something to access the internet after we first install a Windows O/S, and it does that. But it doesn't have the kinds of security features provided by the add-ons available in other browsers like Firefox or Chrome or Opera, and it still relies on features of DirectX which leave it vulnerable to attacks on that. Internet Explorer in my humble opinion has never been a shining example of Microsoft's best efforts. And I think Microsoft is finally coming to terms with that realization themselves.
