[H] MSN Explorer

2006-06-07 Thread Thane Sherrington (S)
Can this be right?  I have a customer who wants to use MSN Explorer 
(I have no idea why) and I notice on the download page it says:

Note: this version of MSN contains Internet Explorer 5.5.

So MSN Explorer is IE 5.5?  Doesn't that mean it's full of security holes?

It contains IE 5.5 but is is a separate app from IE. Pretty much runs on top of 
IE so it in itself is secure.

Ok, that sounds better.  Still not sure why anyone would use it, but 
so long as it is quasi-secure.

People think it's like the greatest thing cuz they seen it on teevee - 
like AOL or something. Lame as shit and break easily.
