Yes, let's completely ignore the quality of the code and design principles that were involved because we know that all programs inherently equal...

Straw man. Nobody is saying that. Point me to a post that says that, if you disagree. Similarly, there is no evidence that Firefox or Safari or any other browser is based on inherently better design principles. If you believe that, that's your opinion, not a fact.

So, here's what we can do. Every time FireFox or Safari or whatever releases a slew of security patches -- and they're going to happen frequently from now on -- you can remind all of us how much better FireFox and Safari's design principles are. At least, we'll all get a good laugh out of it.

OK. Post #8 in this very thread.

He not only used the word "Only," but he bolded it and used all-caps.

That pretty much means that he considers all code to be equally insecure.

hmm how about this " The ONLY reason Firefox and the Mac browsers are "safer" is simply because they are not used extensively enough for hackers to bother with them!..

Bold and Uppercase...
