Supposedly IE7 beta is immune to this so there is still hope.

Interestingly enough I got that memory error on XP home. I also got the standard “this program needs to close” but like StatHawk said – it just pops back up and starts with the memory thing.

For me it justs throws up a general eroor message – “IE has encountered a problem and needs to close”, then I get to choose whether or not to error report it

(thats winxp home)

That’s hilarious, I had stumbled across it before but never took the time to look at it in IE. I use firefox of course, and it’s actually been acting kinda buggy itself lately and I ain’t happy with it. I need to take the time to try to figure out what’s wrong. I suspect an extension or two actually. But any way …

It acts as ya say dude, it “caused a repeating memory read error that just kept popping up until I killed the iexplore.exe process” for me at least running an up to date version of win 2000 pro tweaked up a little bit on a piece of junk.

All programs of sufficient complexity are buggy and in fact a true mathematical verification of a program is about impossible fer all but simplest most trivial pieces of code. And then ya got the assumption the hardware is actually working right. How many transistors did ya say? lol. But regardless this ought to be highly embaressing to uncle bill there. And I too wonder why it hasn’t been patched? Perhaps they haven’t even figured out where in the code the problem is. Perhaps they don’t care after all the program works almost reliably most of the time. Till some smart ass shows how buggy it truly is. haha.

“[…] Why was it not patched yet?”

This is Microsoft we’re talking about here… :P

Might be funny to try with some newb friends tho :D

I think i heard of this before – reading the article gave me deja vu :?
hm… maybe this code should be put into pro-alternative browser websites to show the crappitude of IE

although it would probably do their cause more harm than good

maybe a link to that code and an explanation of what will happen as a demonstration of how stupid it is
