I've been telling people for a long time now that Firefox flaws will exploited as soon as there's enough market share to bother messing with it. There's going to be flaws with any product, anytime you have software with thousands or millions of lines of code, bugs and security flaws are going to be there. I just wish people would get over the browser wars crap anyway. Just use whatever browser you like and make sure all the security updates are applied in a timely fashion. I prefer Opera out of all the browsers anyway. Everybody keeps talking about how Microsoft is losing market share with their browser, well I hate to say it but they don't charge for the browser anyway. There's no revenue coming from IE it just happens to be integrated with the operating system, so who cares if they lose 10 percent or more of market penetration of the browser wars. Individuals and companies alike are going to primarily use IE anyway. Until windows updates functions without IE it will still be in use. And now that tabbed browsing has finally be incoporated with IE7 and additional security enhancements I think there won't be a whole lot of reason to go with other browsers other than personaly preference.
I'll upgrade when I see that the 64-bit version has software written for it. Or maybe when 5ghz dual-core and 3 gigs of ram becomes the standard. since every os they make seems to be painfully bloated. not sure what there is to look forward too since they keep stipping everything outta the os. it's just going to be xp on crack with new visuals. and another group of certs to get, especially when Vista Server comes out.
