    "As soon as the IE apologists had a reason - a fleeting one, but a reason still - to act like IE wasn't so bad... the floodgates open."

    The tactic of calling people who disagree with you 'apologists' is getting really old. "You don't knee-jerk hate Microsoft, you're an apologist!"

    Grow up.

    Are firefox and opera really more secure?

    Or is it just that they are not targeted by hackers because not enough people use them to make it worth the time?

    Want to see something worse? You may need Microsft Word installed for this one.

    1 - Place a Wicrosoft Word document on your desktop
    2 - Open an explorer window to your desktop.
    3 - Add the name of the word document to the path in the address bar, eg "C:\Documents and Settings\user\Desktop\filename.doc" and hit enter.
    4 - Look at the manu bar. You will have the MS Word menues such as format, and the Internet Explorer menues such as Favourites.

    It is a conspiracy to rule the world.
