hmmmm .... so when anti-MS reports are put out, it's the gosplel truth ... but when a report comes out that makes MS look good it's a bribe or conspiracy.  Makes sense, I guess.

I didn't say that.

I said that to slow Mazilla down, the most respected security software company suddenly says Mozilla is more vulnerable than IE.

I've used IE since Windows arrived.

My computer has experienced less problems with Mozilla. That's all I need to see.

What makes sense to me is my own experience that IE allowed trojans, pop-up ads and cookies to infect my computer like water going through a sieve, until it started screwing with my ability to run some programs; I cleaned the s*** out, got FF and the problem stopped. Any questions?

If it takes a half truth to make MS look good (ignoring severity and longjecvity) its kinda sad for ie users..

I use Firfox becuase of the better speed on my dialup and its nice graphics and flexibility.

I also love the fact that in the "Favorites" folder it keeps the original site symbols instead of IE pirating them and converting them all into Microsoft generic folders.

Firefox is more theme versatile (Hate cats but love the red cats green flavor theme). It is also not bound so intregally into the OS. Big problem---delete Firefox and download it again.

I also use IE and some times use both browsers simultaneously.

That said, I also think that Microsoft has been maligned a bit unfairly. Of course all the hackers are going to attack the most widely-used browser. Microsoft has been timely and consistent with providing patches.
