Microsoft is in a bind, now. If they fix their security hole, the Like and +1 buttons will stop working on IE9, and only IE9. The solution to fixing them will be 'use another browser'. The only solution. So faced with losing market share, they instead chose to turn it around and say that other companies are doing unethical things. When those companies stop doing them, IE9 will stop working, but now it looks like those websites are at fault, and not IE9. The obvious solution is simply to explain why (and G and FB have already done so) and let MS hang themselves with their own rope. MS's gambit won't pay off, and they'll lose worse for having tried it.
