Just a quick comment, do we realize that most of IE's bugs or 'Critical Updates' are fixed before the public even knows about them? Microsoft releases the patch to correct the holes they already know about then; someone reverse Engineers the patch to exploit what Microsoft has already found. Example - Sasser: The patch to correct this exploit came out 10 days before the first machine was even attacked. It's the fault of the users who NEVER patched their system '10 days' earlier. The debate shouldn't be about who's browsers or OS is more secure or how many bugs each has had but if each user is going to be responsible for their own system. Writers of viruses like Sasser know the percentage of people who have patched their system doesn't even measure up to the amount of people who never. I think that any company that promotes people to try and hack into their systems is just asking for trouble. Eventually they are going to find something! I think this article should open eyes. It doesn't mater what software or combination of software you use, if 'YOU' don't use it correctly then you're not safe from exploits, It’s not the software fault; IT”S YOURS, THEIRS, AND MINE! Peace!
