It does, but wouldn't it be a IE only development while you can develop in chrome, FF, opera for most browsers(except IE)

EDIT:ow could i set this up to prove to some friends how bad IE is? http://www.pcworld.com/article/228917/dangers_of_ie_cookiejacking_what_you_need_to_know.html I would just need a tree related theme

I actually had the same argument with my parents and won out of sheer persistence, along with, "All my friends have Firefox or Chrome." :-\

Tell them to run browsers through this: http://bcheck.scanit.be/bcheck/index.php
It tests browsers based on a bunch of known exploits and lets you know how secure it is :)

My outdated Chrome did allow an exploit in that test, but only after it gave me the option to allow or deny. That's good enough for me and I know my up to date FF would pass.

This is actually pretty awesome: Google is so sure of Chrome's stability that they're offering twenty thousand dollars and a Google notebook to anyone who can successfully hack Google Chrome.

And there's the annual Pwn2Own competition sponsored by CanSecWest. It's basically a proving ground for browsers and other web software, a contest to see how well they can stand up to the best hackers in the world. The results? In 2009, Safari, Internet Explorer, and Firefox failed on the first day (Safari twice). In 2010, each of them and iOS 3 all fell, and again on the very first day, leaving Chrome the last browser standing. And it happened yet again in 2011: IE and Safari were hacked in the first day, the BlackBerry browser in the second. This time both Mozilla Firefox and Chrome survived -- the third time in a row for Chrome, or every single year they've participated.

And nobody's managed to claim that $20,000 yet.
