I'm not sure you heard the news, or read the initial post in this thread. In short, users who trusted their own operating system/browser (Windows/IE) have been abused and lied to. So no, using software that comes directly from one company you trust is not a viable option for those who believe in privacy. Perhaps you in fact believe that Microsoft did not abuse their users who trusted them. If so I take everything back. -- Emmanuel Revah http://manurevah.com
