Abyste zvýšili bezpe?nost IE, musíte upgradovat na Windows XP :-(
26.09.2004Microsoft has reiterated that users of older versions of Windows will have to upgrade to Windows XP with Service Pack 2 to get the fully updated Internet Explorer web browser. An upgrade costs $99 for current Windows users, while a new purchase of the operating system costs $199. Michael Cherry, analyst for Directions on Microsoft, says "It's a problem that people should have to pay for a whole OS upgrade to get a safe browser." A Microsoft spokesman denied that the company was trying to use security threats to spark demand for Windows XP. Microsoft has said it would provide "ongoing security updates" for all supported versions of Windows and Explorer, but this does not include such features as the pop-up blocker and improved ActiveX controls found in Service Pack 2, which security specialists consider the pack's strongest security improvements. Older versions of Windows account for 49.2% of Windows users, or about 200 million. Many users have started to use alternative browsers, such as Mozilla's Firefox, as Microsoft delays its next big browser update for the release of its 'Longhorn' version of Windows, due in 2006.
