Interesting... why is this Opinion...
...the editor's choice?
"So, what do we do now? Obviously, the study concentrated on just one security problem for which web browsers are susceptible - we cant use it as the only criteria for choosing a web browser. However, the study does suggest that perhaps it is time information technology professionals reassess their web browser choices. When is the last time you took a close, objective look at your current web browsers security capabilities?"
Based on this study?
If that's true, then why is the above post suddenly more pertinent?
"Mark said it well - you should use what works - and IE works for me."
Where did he say that? Not in the article, he didn't. He stuck it in with the rest of the Opinions, Opinions which weigh considerably less that the strong assertions made in the article, wherein he stated unequivocally that based on his assessment of their methodologies - which he pronounced as being on the "up-and-up" - IT professionals need to reassess their choice of browsers given the results of this study. Clearly he has a lot of confidence in the validity of the scientist's methods and altruistic motives.
Unsurprisingly, then, this post made editor's choice. Just like an NSS Labs "study" warranted "A study _confirms_ Internet Explorer 9 is the safest web browser".
This has gone far to restore my faith in Microsoft.
