A 0-day flaw works on IE6, IE7 and IE8
Microsoft has just issued a bulletin: a 0-day vulnerability is currently being worked on versions 6, 7 and 8 of its popular browser, Internet Explorer.
The beta version of IE9 should't be targeted.
Microsoft is monitoring the situation closely. An emergency patch will be proposed, if the fault is most likely clogged with the next Tuesday patch (November 9).
Internet Explorer 9 faster than Safari 5?
They say that, sometimes, development teams are likely.
At the launch of Safari 5 (yesterday), Apple did not lose to emphasize that his browser was much faster than its main competitors, namely Chrome and Firefox.
No word, however, Internet Explorer, superbly ignored.
Microsoft responded today with a small video that there is no comparison with four path: Internet Explorer 9 is fast, very fast, very fast. So much faster than Safari 5 bear bad (or no) comparison.
While it is still a bit early to make a real opinion (EI 9 is still in its second preview release), it is clear, however, that Microsoft's browser will make up part of the hardware acceleration (using the GPU and not the CPU) for video and other multimedia content (including Flash).
Note that Safari 5 does not offer this type of technology (hence the test results from Microsoft).
In contrast to the JavaScript (subject not addressed in the video), Safari 5 should continue to hold its own in the game
Anyway, the message is clear. The next time Apple decides to denigrate its competitors, thank you for not forgetting Microsoft.
The video is on this page (requires Silverlight).
