Thank you Microsoft, THANK YOU for letting people know IE 6 should go away.  Gregg Keizer from Computer world wrote an article about Microsoft Internet Explorer 6 “Microsoft: 'Friends don't let friends use IE6’.  Many users did not realize IE 6 had been around on the internet for the past 8+ years, and it is the same old buggy internet browser with lots of problem.  Do a quick search on the Microsoft IE bugs list and I promise you can find pages and pages long of issues related to IE 6.

I received calls every now and then from my friends having problem with their wireless setting on their Windows Machine,  Windows XP to be specific. They can connect to their home network with WEP security setting just fine but cannot go on any wireless network with WPA or WPA2 security setup.

As far as I know, windows xp (sp2) only come standard with WEP support.  WEP is a pretty old technology and is NOT secure compare with WPA and WPA2.  Microsoft have documented this security issues and release two patches for WPA / WPA2 Support.

This is a very popular question among my friends, and here is the answer.
