I took Nick's comments differently. The way I understood it, the problem
is that Microsoft forces you to use a scripting language to read a
security article. A scripting language could have security problems. As
a result, many people have JavaScript disabled for security reasons,
regardless of their version of IE.
I agree with Nick. It is ironic and unfortunate that MS would force
users to turn on a potentially unsafe scripting language to read a
security bulletin.
