Fair point, but as usual with these things, I wasn't claiming that other
browsers weren't invulnerable. The difference, especially with Mozilla,
is the number of vulns (few) and the speed of fixing (quick). Those
values are diametrically opposed to the situation in IE-land.

Look, I don't want to start a holy war. Of course all software has bugs
- it is written by humans. IE has more than most, that's all.
