POPSLegally Speaking, You Just Can’t Use IE in Ubuntu Recently I switched to Ubuntu from Windows XP in my office. And as I am doing some UI stuff, I thought it would be better if I can manage to have a live preview of the web pages in IE. But sadly speaking, if you want to do it 100% legally, you just can’t! Why? Let’s explore some options :

POPSMicrosoft Exposes Firefox Users to Drive-By Malware Downloads
Here, the affected process is the Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF) hosting process, PresentationHost.exe. While the vulnerability is in an IE component, there is an attack vector for Firefox users as well. The reason is that .NET Framework 3.5 SP1 installs a “Windows Presentation Foundation” plug-in in Firefox. Now, Microsoft’s security folks are actually recommending that Firefox users uninstall the buggy add-on: For Firefox users with .NET Framework 3.5 installed, you may use “Tools”-> “Add-ons” -> “Plugins”, select “Windows Presentation Foundation”, and click “Disable" This introduction of vulnerabilities in a competing browser is a colossal embarrassment for Microsoft. At the time of the surreptitious installs, there were prescient warnings from many in the community about the security implications of introducing new code into browsers without the knowledge " and consent " of end users. http://blogs.zdnet.com/security/?p=4614&tag=nl.e589

POPSGoogle Chrome Frame Is Google an Altruist or an Enterprise? If the statements of a couple of geeks at Google were to be believed, one would perhaps get convinced that Google is a company full of volunteers to serve the net-savvy humanity, with the only virtue of making the virtual world virtually seamless. But then, we know Google better than that and we can see what they are up to, when they come up with an innovation to sidestep Microsoft’s Internet Explorer with their Chrome Frame.

POPS Chrome for Clunkers In a little more than a year, Google Chrome, the search company's speedy and innovative Web browser, has managed to win over about 3 percent of Internet surfers. Is that good or bad? It's certainly not a blockbuster, but consider the hurdles Google faces. Unlike Internet Explorer or Safari, Chrome doesn't come pre-installed on any computers. True, Mozilla Firefox faces the same problem"but Firefox, which now has about 23 percent of the market, has been around since 2004. You might also argue that Firefox captured an easy market"people who were sick of IE and wanted something better. Chrome can't do the same; everyone who wanted to leave IE has done so already, and the only folks left to convert are those who don't know any better. How do you persuade people to upgrade their browser when they don't even know what a browser is? You hide the upgrade. That seems to be the ingenious theory behind Chrome Frame, a plug-in for Internet Explorer that Google unveiled this week.
