Ohh that's the kind of talk that attracts Thermodyne. Probably with some comment about how we all must change now, and you're a fool if you don't. Just a prediction

El_Phil, why don’t you just make your posts under my name? You seem to continuously try to put words into my mouth! Even though you don’t have a clue about me, as usual. You’re worse than an old mother-in-law.
Fact is that I recommend Firefox for personal use, although its popularity has caused it to become a target for exploits too. I was one of the early converts to Firefox. And I really don’t care what browser people use. IE holds the majority of the personal market and will continue to do so for the foreseeable future. IE rules the business world, and will remained unchallenged as long as developers rely on activeX controls to make things work. IE 6.0.2900.2180 can be made quite secure on an XPsp2 system, but it is a constant chore to keep it locked down on a system used for random web browsing. Personally, I’m beginning to look for another obscure browser, one that will not have the install base to attract exploits.
Just to set the record straight, the core IE code that keeps being hacked is not even MS’s work. They licensed/bought the majority of it from outside sources.
