Penn State Urges Users to Dump MSIE

According to Information Week, Penn State’s IT department has urged its 80,000 students and faculty to dump Microsoft’s Internet Explorer (for Windows) because “because the threats are real and alternatives exist to mitigate Web browser vulnerabilities”.

Equally interesting was the language employed: “The University computing community [should] use standards-based Web browsers…”

Could this be the beginning of the end for IE as a default?
