Tuesday, March 22, 2005Why are people still using MAC IE?

Came across an interesting problem today. Users of Macintosh Internest Explorer were receiving a "Security Failure: Data decryption error" alert box when trying to view a SSL encrypted Web site. After doing a quick search on Google, I found that there is a bug in how MAC IE implements SSLv3. This error of course does not ocurr on Firefox or Safari. This begs two questions: 1. How many ecommerce sites out there are losing transactions because of this bug? 2. Why do people keep using Internet Explorer on the Macintosh after it was discontinued by Microsoft two years ago?!
