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.

    - Idea.

    I cannot print envelopes on $$$$ NedSpace's truly-high end HP Enterprise Printer because HP'S OWN SOFTWARE!!!!! does NOT support OS X.

    The day after Soggy Jobs' Indiegogo Launch on Wednesday the 20th [soggy.jobs] $HINT_HINT I'm going to drop a few hundred pieces of direct mail to those of my listed companies that provide their street addresses on their sites. That means I MUST print envelopes. Even the very shittiest inkjet would do.

    But I Am Determined Not To Be Beaten.

    So I'll install Windows 7 in a VM, then print envelopes from there.

    (Why the day after Indiegogo launch? So my cover letter can point out the - I Pray To Baby Jesus! - huge success of my launch day.)
