Google, not Microsoft  GuidingLight | 12/15/08
It must have been paid for by Microsoft and Google, oh and the Tooth Fiary  rs_jr | 12/15/08
Well, it's an end of year report.  seanferd | 12/16/08
That's exactly what  OldGuru | 12/16/08
Obviously,  Greenknight_z | 12/17/08
Very odd...  InAction Man | 12/15/08
Sensationalist title  forrestgump2000@... | 12/15/08
Talk about misleading statistics....  techvet | 12/15/08
Exactly! All this proves is that Firefox is the MOST secure.  T1Oracle | 12/16/08
Stings a little I guess...nt  USTechHead | 12/17/08
FireFox had more patches than IE in 2008  dunn@... | 12/19/08
Grasping at straws  Speednet | 12/30/08
How is it functionally possible IE is not on the list?  TripleII | 12/15/08
Good question. On my screen, I have the following:  olePigeon | 12/15/08
how about this one... it's getting CRITICAL  SaltySkipper | 12/19/08
Hold on to your hat.....  xuniL_z | 12/15/08
"realize how bad FireFox really is"??? Very bad joke.  InAction Man | 12/15/08
10 vulns allowing remote code execution is what is not funny....  xuniL_z | 12/15/08
I never found one  InAction Man | 12/15/08
You can lock down IE.  xuniL_z | 12/15/08
Make me laugh. Not.  Cayble | 12/15/08
Let's see that happen  hasta la Vista, bah-bie | 12/16/08
Lucky  rjacksix | 12/19/08
Facts??? That's highly debatable!  InAction Man | 12/15/08
Ok, IE was excluded due to b9's requirements as it's aimed at sties  xuniL_z | 12/16/08
You miss the point.  TripleII | 12/15/08
While you're posting those vulns...  storm14k | 12/15/08
This blog does not claim to do that.  xuniL_z | 12/15/08
Thats not what I asked...  storm14k | 12/16/08
LOL - n  USTechHead | 12/17/08
Reason why IE isn't on that list  mone_dog | 12/16/08
You are losing all credibility, Ryan, for such nonsense  Narr vi | 12/15/08
Exactly right, Narr.  Lerianis | 12/15/08
Honestly it should read "12 most Responsible Windows apps" nt  T1Oracle | 12/16/08
Honestly? LOL!!  xuniL_z | 12/17/08
In terms of vulnerability patching  T1Oracle | 12/17/08
And...  thx-1138_@... | 12/16/08
I Have to Agree  rjacksix | 12/19/08
I Know  rjacksix | 12/19/08
Even the biggest MS lover will call this BS  wackoae | 12/15/08
Looks like remote execution vulns are weighted most heavily.....  xuniL_z | 12/15/08
Are ActiveX controls counted separately.  TripleII | 12/15/08
From the bit9 pdf with requirements for inclusion.:  xuniL_z | 12/15/08
Funny how the report was released in PDF form  WiredGuy | 12/16/08
acrobat isn't the only way to read .pdf files  Dutchie027 | 12/16/08
Or Windows Update?  T1Oracle | 12/16/08
Yep!  mone_dog | 12/16/08
Yes.  xuniL_z | 12/16/08
Then why?  rjacksix | 12/19/08
WSUS  rtk | 12/19/08
Aurigma was ActiveX, but MS set killbit....  dunn@... | 12/19/08
BS answer  wackoae | 12/15/08
I was speculating at that time... clearly i said "must be" they weight....  xuniL_z | 12/16/08
Award for best quote of this thread  Speednet | 12/30/08
The responses thus far have been funny and predictable..  rs_jr | 12/15/08
Very predictable indeed  InAction Man | 12/15/08
Yep, that's me...  rs_jr | 12/15/08
Breath some fresh air for moment  T1Oracle | 12/16/08
That doesn't make their opinions accurate.  ye | 12/16/08
dumb and dumber  do it yourself IT | 12/16/08
Yep, your right...It was the lawyers who let us down  rs_jr | 12/16/08
Very predictable indeed  Cayble | 12/15/08
You can see my posts above.  TripleII | 12/15/08
I understand you disbelief...but, what if it's true..  rs_jr | 12/15/08
Extraordinary claims require extraordinary proof.  TripleII | 12/15/08
Let me try it a different way....  rs_jr | 12/15/08
There's nothing extraordinary about the claim.  ye | 12/16/08
Actually...  storm14k | 12/15/08
That's a good point...  rs_jr | 12/15/08
Once again....  storm14k | 12/16/08
Its not the outrage. Thats just FUD.  Cayble | 12/15/08
So you are claiming...  storm14k | 12/16/08
rofl  do it yourself IT | 12/16/08
re: The responses thus far have been funny and predictable..  none none | 12/15/08
Good catch...  rs_jr | 12/15/08
Wow...  storm14k | 12/15/08
Better analysis matched to source report makes a better article  jlang@... | 12/16/08
Interesting that IE doesn't make the list....  k12IT | 12/15/08
So, is that the minimum requirement? IE must be on the list?  rs_jr | 12/15/08
Do you think this list is accurate without IE?  storm14k | 12/15/08
I honestly don't know...I treat it as if it were..but that's not the point  rs_jr | 12/15/08
I think you misjudge the reaction.  storm14k | 12/15/08
I hear what you are saying...  rs_jr | 12/15/08
Yes  coreyb42 | 12/15/08
No...but it would have been more true  k12IT | 12/15/08
IE more bugs right now.  bjbrock | 12/15/08
OK...I'll bite....  rs_jr | 12/15/08
Once again....do you believe this list is accurate?  storm14k | 12/15/08
Again, I am not saying that the list is accurate...  rs_jr | 12/15/08
Then if you can't say whether its accurate or not...  storm14k | 12/16/08
Too many useless features, too little design  terry flores | 12/15/08
So, why shouldn't they all hang their heads in shame?  rs_jr | 12/15/08
Hall of Shame  terry flores | 12/16/08
I see your logic...uh, I think...  rs_jr | 12/16/08
A simple test for you ...  terry flores | 12/16/08
Now I understand...at least part of what you are saying.  rs_jr | 12/16/08
Most vulnerable apps are unpatched apps  Vektor_ | 12/15/08
Wow. Look at all the rabid iBoi's and M"$" haters  Gnutella | 12/15/08
You throw a fake report out and they go crazy!  WiredGuy | 12/15/08
Thank You! This explains it all!  TripleII | 12/15/08
Even if that is true.....how is it a "fake report"?  xuniL_z | 12/15/08
Not "fake", but ZDNET should clearly state "MS software not included"  Basic Logic | 12/15/08
If you read it all....you'd have found this....  xuniL_z | 12/15/08
A slice of recent history:  rikasa | 12/15/08
