which
of course, is basically meaningless except to ones initial choice of browser.

once that choice is made, it is fair to assume that *any* security vulnerability will be addressed quickly.

i choose non-ms software because of examples like yours above. now that i have made that choice, microsofts abundant vulnerabilities are of no consequence to me, and they dont make me somehow feel better if the software i *have* chosen has a flaw.

i still want it fixed, and quickly.
