Re: Google's new browser

In defense of IE in the corporate world, it is much more manageable from the enterprise standpoint than any other browser. Most browsers do not have any mechanisms for re-branding or centralized administration, which actually does give IE a leg up in that environment. That is something Google will need to address if they want to compete in the corporate space (which they undoubtedly do) because while good IT admins hate the vulnerabilities, the trade-off of being able to centrally manage thousands of clients at a mouse-click with individualized settings based on groups or organizational units is probably worth it to most sufficiently large networks.

Now, if you're using IE and NOT using those features in the corporate world....yes, you've signed up for a lot of pain for no benefit.
