Microsoft begs you to stop using Internet Explorer
In a blog post, Microsoft senior cybersecurity architect Chris Jackson said continuing to use Internet Explorer is racking up companies a ton of "technical debt." Essentially, by continuing to use IE, organizations are creating additional costs down the line by selecting the easiest, most convenient solution now rather than the approach that is best for the long term. Jackson laid out a scenario in which a company, choosing the easiest possible route since Internet Explorer 6, goes to make a webpage today and ends up using a 1999 implementation of web standards by default.

Aye, much more complex than the OS, and in the case of Chrime (love that typo), endless rewriting of everything. I guess that is one way to mitigate security holes: never leave any line of source remain for more than three months, so crackers can't rely on a static target.
