No, back in the IE6 days.  It was a public relations disaster for MS, and still tarnishes its reputation.  As far as security patches go, MS can be a model citizen, but people will always think of that.

Yeah, that's always coming up in conversation. Just the other day when a group of were discussing the new Datagrid control in .Net 3.5 someone brought up the 'old' days of IE6. 

In the world of software, and incident that happened 4 years ago is the old days.  My point was that MS has moved on since then, and made security a much higher priority.  However, the damage to its reputation has already been done.

I thought you were acknowledging that you were flogging the proverbial dead horse with your 'old day's' reference.

I thought the old days reference was your sarcastic attempt to flame me

My flames are always obvious, to the point, and very very pointed. Just ask any of the long timers here.

You'll know when I'm flaming...your first hint will be a big ball of flaming poop coming your way.
