Kent's rather dismissive and patronising claim that users were not technically savvy enough to switch on anti phishing in internet explorer has been addressed in MS roll out of XP SP3.

After the installation of the SP, IE7 has a fully functioning and by default switched on anti phishing.

There are two sides to an argument and if according to Kent the masses are too thick to turn on anti-phishing they by default will be too thick to turn it off.

By the time Phorm is ready for roll out, the only half way redeeming feature will have long since been made redundant by Microsoft.
