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

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.

Ah, so dramatic. But wrong. There are plenty of bad guys out there gunning for everyone, there are plenty of crackers out there trying to crack everything. Including Mozilla/Firefox. In fact, with the source code *open* like it is, you might even expect far more exploits on it than IE.

Well, you *might* expect that -- if you didn't know about one of the bennies of open-source . . .

Let's assume your analogy is correct:

"Whenever IE drives down the road, they throw out a nail strip. Or put a bullet through the front grill.'

Why are you driving your IE?
