If I saw the most annoying IE dialog appear while landing on the front page of bing.com I would simply turn around and head off to Google. MS really don't have a clue do they? As I think has been pointed out here already, anyone worth their salt as a developer wouldn't be using IE in the first place....
MASSIVE fail!
@honkj, just because you repeat something over and over again doesn't make it fact mate.
I suggest you read the article you link to - with the incredibly dubious phrase "Truly debunked" in the title - which does nothing to convince me of either argument to be honest.
All it achieves is to point out that the first time the Samsung device was seen in the wild was 1month after the iphone was first demonstrated. This does not prove that either manufacturer was first. The article even ends up pretty much saying (and I paraphrase) "We don't really know, what do you, the reader, think..."
If you're going to link to something as "The Answer" - make sure it actually is...
"No rioting took place as a result of either Blackshaw's or Sutcliffe-Keenan's foolish posts on Facebook.
Despite that, their appeals were rejected today, which means their sentences, four years apiece in the slammer, will be served."
So what are we saying? That it's illegal to be a complete spanner now is it? They didn't actually incite anyone to do anything illegal, but they get jail time as if they did.
Now if only politicians were subject to the same logic!!!!

Paris, cos she's been given some french stuff in the past I'm sure...
Seriously - I'd get your MacBook looked at. I am in possession of two MBPs from late 2009 and one MB from 2007 and none of them suffer from the problems you experience.
But if it is sooooo bad, how come you're using it at all? Battery life isn't a reason to put up with the experience you've had surely?
Anyway - good luck to you. I for one LOVE my MBP and would not trade it in for an MS OS for doing my day to day again.
Seriously?
I don't want to start a flame war, but I wonder what you consider 'pro-active'.
1) releasing security updates in a timely fashion before the details have been released to the hacker/script-kiddy community (mostly) a-la Apple or
2) waiting 6 months for maximum damage to be done after making a big fanfare announcement about the forthecoming fix (including details of how to implement the exploit) and then finally patching - a-la guesswho
I may be wrong of course, but this certainly seems to be my perception of each companies approach to fixing the bugs that will inevitably occur in any software development cycle.
This one to be honest just seems like a genuine error in checking versions. Not inexcusable but totally understandable in how it happened.
