The facts are that, despite warnings at the time from everyone with a
working brain in the industry, Microsoft designed an web browser that is
the security equivalent of dressing up in spike heels, fishnets, and a
teddy, going down to the docks, and shouting "Hello sailor!" at every
passing drunk.
And their "fix" to it has been equally irresponsible and moronic.
Of course, one doesn't expect thugs to be very bright.
