Microsoft and “Suspicious” Websites
Just when I was beginning to think that I couldn’t hate Microsoft any worse, they have to go and prove me wrong.
In an effort to “help” protect us from bad websites, Microsoft’s latest release of the worst browser on the planet (Internet Explorer 7) has started randomly labeling sites as “suspicious” in order to kill commerce.
Okay, so they’re not really trying to kill commerce, and I’m sure their labeling tactics aren’t RANDOM, but from what I’ve read, there seems to be no common thread among people who have had their websites labeled as “suspicious” by Internet Destroyer . . . I mean Explorer.
And the real kicker is this . . . If Microsoft screws up (which seems to happen more often than not) and labels your site as “suspicious”, then you have to go to their website, fill out a form, and wait around for them to “check out” your website to make sure everything is alright.
Get over yourself, Microsoft, and stop trying to “help” people who don’t need it!
