It’s interesting how the Secunia reports that get cited by M$ fan-boys are used as ‘evidence’ that IE is supposedly ‘better’ than Firefox or any other browser.

These reports are accurate, but are completely taken out of context.

Sure Firefox has more ‘reported vulnerabilities’, but have you looked at the actual report?! Of the reported vulnerabilities, Firefox patches most of them within a week or so, whereas Microsoft will let stuff go unpatched for months.

Don’t believe me? Look it up for yourself on Secunia’s advisories website!

As for why Mozilla has so many ‘critical’ vulnerabilities, maybe it has something to do with how errors get reported, and just how responsive the community is to find and fix bugs. They actually LOOK for bugs. Microsoft won’t fix something unless they are forced to.

For example, Google ’17 year old bug in windows’

In fact, they will most likely try to hide it if they can. Why? Because it costs them money to fix it, since they insist on supporting older versions of IE (ie6 is just now getting fazed out). Firefox gets new versions rather quickly. That and Firefox isn’t EMBEDDED into the O/S, whereas IE is (Active desktop, etc.)

This whole ‘get the facts about ie8′ campaign is nothing but one-sided, propaganda.

Of course, as bad as IE is, Safari is much much worse…

Ignorance fuels M$ success. IE, with it’s lackluster support for various standards and the crap they did to Netscape is never to be forgiven. Sadly, most of the consumers using M$ products are either to ignorant/lazy to switch or is forced in one way or another to use it due to market share, which again go back to ignorant/lazy, fueling the moneytrain M$ is on, trying to run over every competition out there, and being quite successful at it even.
