Gee, and all this time folks (CS-type geeks - both my colleagues and those to whom I teach CS courses) have been telling me how wonderful Mozilla is! How free of the foibles and glitches of IE! How dependable and easy to use! Mind you, I'm not a great fan of Internet Explorer, but at least Microshaft does keep up with security issues and problems on a timely basis.

I couldn't help but snicker a bit when I read this.

I have to strongly disagree with you there. I've seen MS go months without fixing vulnerabilities that have been reported to them. Only when the folks who reported it to them threaten to go public would they release patches. I've heard of this happening quite a lot in the earlier days of XP.
