From: Charlie Russel - MVP on 8 Apr 2010 18:37 Excuse me, I never blamed IE, nor do I frankly give a hoot. I happen to use IE, but not because I care one way or another. If you'd _read_ the thread, you'd understand that SOME of us prefer to have a browser without all those addins. We use 64-bit IE for the explicit purpose of NOT having flash or silverlight or whatever piece of bloat ware thinks it ought to own my browser. So having 64-bit add-ins would NOT make me happy. -- Charlie. http://msmvps.com/blogs/russel "Nathan Sokalski" <njsokalski(a)hotmail.com> wrote in message news:77FBBCE3-D8A4-405E-AFB9-518EE4E4A5FD(a)microsoft.com... >I would like to comment on your statement.

So having 64-bit add-ins would NOT make me happy. You can still use 32-bit IE and not have any add-ons. The choice to run them or not is totally up to you. Tom Lake

I rather not use AdBlock/Noscript since I like to support the sites I go to |
