Hi Kalle I give up windows since 2001 (I use linux, currenly ubuntu) but the company I work for uses a banking software which can only work with Microsoft JVM for IE(can you imagine), so we are stuck with ie. As the software still works with ie6, there is no reason for upgrade.
If only there could be a criminal suit for creating bad software :) regards Taha On Mon, Jun 6, 2011 at 3:42 AM, Kalle Korhonen <kalle.o.korho...@gmail.com>wrote: > Sorry, I don't have anything meaningful to contribute to this > discussion.
