Default German government warns against using MS Explorer

Now this must be the news of 2010

After nearly 10 years of unlimited patches, hotfixes and service
Packs, IE is still a weak link in recent attacks on Google's systems.
Either M$ is now threatened by Googles rise to prominence or IE is
completely rubbish. Either way we should start taking instructions
from the German government if this article is anything to go by.

Is google's search engine more powerful than M$ Bing?

Are you talking about this Security Release from Microsoft below which was
published a day before yesterday which addresses this issue.

For some years we've been deploying an applet which warns users if an
iexplore.exe process is found running, with an unauthorized URL. If they
don't heed the warning then IE is terminated and a log-entry made.

Since we did that, service-calls to deal with malfunctioning desktops have
literally halved.
