hmm, you might consider using Linux - if you are using ie, you are most likely a windoze user - it's not at all clear why a diehard ie user would know or care what lwn does w.r.t. cookies -

could be a troll....

I have to disagree. About 25% of our readers use IE; many of them do so from work or other places where they have no choice. Others simply want to use IE. We don't like web sites that discriminate against non-IE browsers; we want to do better ourselves.

Getting cookies to work right with all browsers is far more of a pain than you would think, and we have a couple of issues to deal with still. It's on the list, trust me.

You are not helping matters. Not every die-hard linux user only uses linux. An example that easily comes to mind is people who read from work and only have IE. Or maybe they just like the browser, shocking as that might be. Or maybe (like I do) have linux and windows and use each where it is appropriate.

Linux needs to be an inclusive community not a take-it-or-leave-it one.
