MSIE is responsible for much of the bad image that M$ has on the technical side of things. If the issue were only about providing web access, M$ would have ditched MSIE for Opera or, now, Chrome long ago.

It’s good to hear that the State Department is wising up. Hopefully soon, they will take the next steps: prohibiting Windows because it is such a security risk.

I would really like to see it banned altogether until it is totally separated from the operating system, as a matter of national security!
