Default Maxthon ver 1.6 as a substitute for IE6

Ergo?


No more Cumulative Security Updates for IE, for one.


What it also means is that after June 2010, you're safer (from a
drive-by exploit POV) running Win-98 than you are running win-2k.

Reason: malware written to exploit IE6 vulnerabilities will most likely
not function properly on win-98 with IE6-sp1 vs win-2k. This has
probably *always* been the case, but it becomes more relevant after June
this year.
