What you couldn't find a more biased report?

"An IE product manager made this case explicitly. Firefox had had (at that time) "three major releases," she said, while Internet Explorer 6.0 had had none."
As I had predicted a while back, though this is still a relatively new browser, being open source and having literally MILLIONS of engineers working to secure and fix even the smallest issue immediately, Firefox will remain to stay more up to date than IE. MS has a limited number of engineers, a source code that nobody is allowed to help debug or patch and will only release a fix if an issue is widespread and publicly announced enough to force them into action.
MS engineers get paid a lot of money for thier patching efforts, and well they should for dealing with that mess, and it's just not cost effective in MS eyes to constantly release new patches and upgrades as;
1) it shows how crappy thier product is to begin with
2) Defames thier claims of improved security every five minutes "that's a LOT of "improved security" OS's by now, you would think."
3) It would cost a lot of money in engineering, and web design trying to keep the MS site up to date with new patches as they are needed.
It seems that every MS post I read about just continues to drag them deeper and deeper downward, can't these guys do ANYTHING properly?
It's not like they are the only ones and we are awed by thier products anymore, they are just another player in the computer world, and not a very good one at that.
