   Is Microsoft getting paranoid about the F1 “Help” key recently? sheesh. I DO use that button to launch Help & Support in WinXP SP3 occasionally.

   Tsk, tsk, Woody– once again, you’re broadcasting the MS party line.

   MS’s marketing weenie team has been trying to convince us that IE6 is a security risk (of COURSE) but that their (THEIR, not OUR) preferred fix is “buy WIn7, because win7 never comes with one of the older versions of IE”.

   That’s like a sleazy car dealer saying your car dashboard’s cupholder’s broken, so you ought to buy a new car.

   By now, IT folks should recognize the smell of a stupid MS sales pitch, and the stench of F.U.D. that MS uses to push its latest turds at us.

   Imho, it’s sufficient to keep IE patched, use Firefox instead of IE for all browsing, and stick with XP as my OS of choice.
