IE is a serious business product designed by a serious business for serious businesses, not some hippie toy like FF.

Get real, will you? I have participated numerous times in various bug-chases on Mozilla and Firefox products, and I have never smoked pot, don't hug trees, and am not a Communist or live in a commune. (I, in fact, don't own a vehicle past a bicycle, but that's more necessity than intent!)

Firefox, like a lot of OSS projects, is written and maintained during the recreation time of the same sorts of "serious engineers" who wrote IE. It just so happens that the pride-of-workmanship (or craftsmanship) is much higher in Mozilla and Firefox than it ever has been anywhere in Redmond, WA.

And, for your information, Firefox has always been more secure (and generally more standards-compliant) than Microsoft's Internet Explorer.
