finally, IE security secrets revealed
It's all so clear now! If you don't install patches and updates, you'll be secure! If you close your eyes tightly, stick your fingers in your ears, and say "Lalalalalalalala!" as loud as you can, all those awful security vulnerabilities will go away! That's awesome.

I only wish I knew this several years ago. It would have saved me a lot of work trying to recover clients' systems from the consequences of security exploits.

Here's the biggest indicator of Firefox security in my life: I have yet to see a system where the user only used Firefox as a browser get compromised through the browser. Once my clients start using Firefox, they stop getting malware on their systems other than through email, and even that gets cut down if I convince them to make the switch from OE to Thunderbird.
