"There is no one operating system, browser, anti-virus, firewall, hardware router, or whatever, that cannot be exploited"
That's precisely the point we tried to make to the open source fanatics before.
But, no, they had to keep insisting that it's only Microsoft products that had security issues, and that the super coders of the open source Firefox program had gotten the security problems fixed.
In reality of course, very few hackers had bothered to attack Firefox. That is why security issues for Firefox did not come to the fore before.
If I write a lil browser at home, and keep it on my computer, and no one knows about it, of course its going to have 100% security record, BECAUSE NO ONE ATTACKED IT BEFORE.
So to compare the most attacked browser by far on the planet, Microsoft Internet Explorer, to any other browser, which has had very little attacks against it, is not exactly a fair or right comparison to make.

Levels of security are based more on the underlying architecture than on is popularity. If you think IE has better architecture then put up a post to back it up..
