IE Patch Released
So the patch has been released concerning the IE security hole I wrote about yesterday however Automatic Updates may not catch it right away because it was an emergency patch rather than one of the regular patches that are issued at predictable times. So if Automatic Update hasn’t asked you to reboot your computer (needed to apply the patch) in the last 24 hours I highly recommend you get the patch through Windows Update: http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com/
I found my 24 hours of exclusive Firefox use largely much faster than IE (shockingly fast in fact when updating my geocities website) except, ironically, for posting blog entries - it was a complete mess when I tried to do that.
