And its all versions of IE as well apparently.  I was surprised.

Microsoft went as far as to say that they suggest using a "different" browser until theirs is patched.

This is a baddie. Be careful if you use it.

Firefox has an add on to embed IE into a Firefox tab for such things as Hotmail. Comes in handy if you do not want to use IE at all.
