Bishop256,Well, if your distro has discontinued security updates for your version of that flavor, then yes.Of course in Linux, this process frequently amounts to the command line:apt-get update &&apt-get dist-upgrade and hitting "y" and "n" for an hour or so.Unless of course you're an Ubuntu user who has a Linksys Wireless card, in which case you then get to spend three hours trying to get your wireless card working again.
As popular as IE is, good practices say to develop for standards first. Releases of IE aren't standards; if they break in the next release of IE, Microsoft is under no obligation to fix them and certainly may not fix them in a timely manner.This became really clear with IE7's debut and suddenly there were weeks and weeks of scrambling to move html originally developed in IE6 to now support IE7. Now that there are three reasonably standards compliant browsers, it just makes sense to develop for a higher standard and fork a quirky branch for IE when it's updates require.

but, but, but, this comment shows you have no imagination. If you're going to be an idiot troll, at least try to do it with style.

You may not see it on your screen, but your computer repeated the word 'but' three times and it's making you look stupid on the internet. FYI.
