They're not being "subjected to the same kinds of driving".

They drive the same information superhighways. Visit the same sites. Are subjected to exactly the same hazzards.

And quality *is* defined by how often something breaks.

IE breaks more often, on the same roads. :-D

Wrong. The "hazards" are tuned specifically for IE -- not Mozilla/Firefox. Here's an analogy maybe even you can understand. It's as if there are vandals sitting on the side of the road. Whenever IE drives down the road, they throw out a nail strip. Or put a bullet through the front grill. Whenever Mozilla/Firefox comes down the road, they ignore it. Yawn. It isn't worth their trouble because most people drive IE.

And quality *is* defined by how often something breaks.

Look, bub, if some malicious SOB pours sugar in your gas tank, it ain't the car's fault. No matter what you'd like to believe.
