Germany Hates Internet Explorer

Hey everyone... As we all know, the competition between web browsers never dies and is only increasing with time. However, I think most, if not all of us can agree that Microsoft's Internet Explorer is just plain "epic fail". I'm not trying to be biased here, but the truth is, Internet Explorer has the worst stability, least effective GUI, as well as a very bad security system to prevent spam and viruses which have always enjoyed nesting themselves within P.C hardware (get a mac). The most recent hater of Internet Explorer is surprisingly The Federal Republic of Germany. Yes, it is no joke that the German government has actually warned web users to find an alternative browser to Internet Explorer to protect their computers. They have confirmed that even by following Microsoft's advice to set the browser's security zone to "high", which limits functionality and blocks many websites, IE would never be fully safe.

So what do you guys think? I always new Internet Explorer was bad (I'm a Mac user and have only tried it on Bootcamp), but for the German government to actually issue a national warning? Beats me...

Once more i find myself completely baffled by this article. You're genuine ability to turn a chuckle into an article is ecstatic. Internet Explorer's numerous faux-pas has not gone unregarded as Germans hail it as heel. Hence, this brings a halt to my comment. Bravo on another baffling piece Sir Diggins, I salute you.
