Microsoft Internet Explorer exposes the contents of the clipboard to JavaScript on websites. This is a bad thing.
Just another in the long string of examples how Microsoft, in an attempt to get developers on board and build the largest software empire in the world, has made everything easy for the developers, and totally disregarded security.
My personal opinion, as always, is Internet Explorer should never be used.

Some user use clipboard to transfer some very important informations (such us password). this is bad think!
IE7 now prompts users that the webpage is trying to access the clipboard.
