Must be a slow news day

What exactly is this article telling us that we don't already know? IE6 is full of holes - well I never knew that...

El Reg seems to be spinning it, not MS - XP users can also upgrade their browser, so how are they spinning it as a Win7 upgrade opportunity?

Well done DSG - doing this is clearly in the interests of your customers and thanks a lot - I was very surprised (in a good way) to get my copies this morning.

Reality hits hard

Linux has been trying for many years to become the dominent player in the desktop market and has resolutely failed, a fact which Linux fans should wake up and accept. Microsoft may have dropped the ball with Vista, but this has mainly been to the advantage of Apple - which is just another Microsoft in sheep's clothing. Now Windows 7 looms and frankly, Apple are scared because Microsoft have a product which compares well for usability and is cheaper (at least with the introductory offers), and Linux devotees are scared because it performs well too. With these advantages gone, what is there left for Windows' competitors?
