#2Apparently they don't recommend other browsers as they show security gaps. I'm glad the security experts of VW have finally decided to share their knowledge with the world. A pity they don't make routers and anti-virus software, rather than cars.

Ah, that's why my Message Authentication Code wasn't working.

#5This'd just be a case of yet another page that's never been updated. I think my bank's site recommends either IE or netscape - site works fine, just that no one's ever updated the required browser page

#6For a well-designed website, I must say, I'm a bit worried.

Because that's all there is to security.

I didn't realise we could code in SSL.

IE6 ftw!
> By using the current version and the updates provided by Microsoft we guarantee you a secure connection.
I must have been living under a rock; I thought that it was because Internet Explorer was so insecure that I get patches every week for it. Oh, but then again, those were security issues with the rendering, not the connection. It must be the connection that is so important!

Oh. Okay. I understand.

#7I hope this is because they haven't updated the content of the page in a while.

Although even in 2009 I still wouldn't recommend IE6.

#9"By using the current version and the updates provided by Microsoft we guarantee you a secure connection."
Is that a "legal" guarantee? Seems kind of dangerous for a company to make that kind of claim about 3rd party software.

#10For some reason the corporate world is still stuck with IE6.
Just recently we were dealing with a large corporation that was still using IE6 throughout the company and our web app had to support this browser.
