The key will be how effectively mozilla keeps Firefox patched -- especially patching flaws before they become public.

But, no matter how you cut it, IE's real problem is Active X. Active X is a public exploit designed into the browser. Keeping safe while using IE requires careful adjustment of the chair-keyboard interface.

Anyone stupid enough to use ActiveX deserves what happens.  I abandonded that garbage for good in 2000, or thereabouts, and refused many projects because the client insisted on it.

I'd like to see Apple port its Safari browser to Windows. But Microsoft is going to resist having other companies encroach on its browser dominance in the market.
