Germans told : Ditch IE :D

Saw this and thought I would spread it around a bit:

According to The Register : here

The German Federal Office for Information Security have advised internet users to use wither Mozilla or Opera, as IE is "hazard-Prone"....

The good thing is that these guys are taken seriously by most german businesses....

Another nail in the coffin for IE ? (one can only hope )

Re: Germans told : Ditch IE :D

Ok but what about all the sites that have only coded with IE compatibility in mind?

I have absolutely no sympathy with lazy programmers who can't adhere to internationally agreed standards. They have the upper hand at the moment because IE is still very (very very) popular, but in the longer term they're going to pay the price of their laziness as non-IE browsers become popular to the point where owners of IE-only sites start to lose out on online sales.
