Microsoft warns of Internet Explorer security gap

[progree]

32. Microsoft.com has nothing about this at the level a regular visitor to their website would see

I went to microsoft.com and clicked a few links, and found nothing at all about this security breach. There is something if one digs deep, but I expected something on the home page, or on a security or Internet Explorer page one click from the home page -- given that both the U.S. and U.K GOVERNMENTS suggest not using it. And given that this is getting a good deal of media attention.

Anyway, here is what I provided as feedback on one of their IE pages:

I was expecting something about the Internet Explorer security issue -- an issue so bad that even the U.S. and U.K. governments have suggested not to use it until the issue is resolved. I believe this is unprecedented. Shame on you for pretending nothing is wrong.

By the way, I use Chrome as my principal browser. But sometimes I have to see what one of my website's pages looks like from the perspective of an IE user. And it does save complex HTML files in a more useful format than Chrome, so in the rare occasions when I want to save a web page as a web page, I use IE.

There's a couple of other minor advantages of IE. But a lot of disadvantages which is why Chrome is my primary browser.

Yes, I'm aware of Microsoft's security advisory in the OP - http://bit.ly/1fJX5RR which morphs into https://technet.microsoft.com/en-US/library/security/2963983 . My point is that one wouldn't find this just by browsing around at microsoft.com unless one knew where to look or specifically searched for it.
