It's sad that this hogwash is getting any press. The whole thing is a just-barely disguised marketing ploy. As grouch says, the "methodology" (to use the term recklessly) explicitly ignores software that IT departments "own"--focusing instead on software that users install. So this virtually guarantees that the list is almost entirely freeware or FLOSS software. (BTW, just WHY would users be installing Firefox? Oh right, BECAUSE THEY DON'T WANT TO BE OWNED AGAIN!) Anyway, the versions listed in this sham research are all pretty ancient. |

If the purpose was to make the "enterprise" more secure, all software that is likely to appear within such an organization would be considered in the analysis. In that case, IE 6.x would be banned or at least totally isolated. |
