Seems to me every update tuesday has patches of this style for a bug that could get admin control. As said in the article, it involves the user, as usual. Nothing new here. Move along.

Well no wonder! For the last few months internet explorer wasn't working as great as before, and was getting glitchy at times, glad they fixed it!

Wait so Internet Explorer is broken again? 😉 Almost makes me want to stop using XP except for the fact Firefox fixes like 90% of it's security risk problems. I'd rather support Mozilla than Microsoft.

You can guarantee if the flaw is that bad, Microsuck will be patching and sending out to corporates who have that expenses extended support contract ... see if they start leaking out in to the wild !

I can't see the point in not fixing IE for XP. The flaws were there long before Microsoft stopped releasing the (mostly useless) "security" updates for XP, and the browser should be seen by the company as an independent entity than the OS.

If the browser had been seen as a different entity all along, they would've stopped pushing updates years ago for that version. They're now at version 11 and most browser companies usually only update up to 2 versions behind. Then again if it was a different entity they probably would've made a version of IE 11 compatible with Windows XP.
