Anty!
"It could also show that the browser's widely publicized security flaws have begun to undermine the foundation's argument that people should switch from IE to be safer."

Yus! So IE has an endless myriad of flaws, mountains of holes and exploits which have been succesfully and repeatedly abused again and again, a whole industry of spyware and trojans which have been written specifically to target it, and just because a mere flaw or two surfaces in Mo FF you think this is enough to turn you back to the mud? Jesus, thank god you ain't holding my steering wheel! That's a kind of nuttiness that even my old college self can't stomach too much nowadays. The helium would make my voice squeal high pitched, but the brain freeze got to be too much after a while.

"The need to be safer than IE is beginning to disappear as a motive."

PROVE THAT.

"Microsoft has given the world a reason to upgrade with SP 2 and the coming revision of IE, which will apparently also be limited to XP."

Yeah, hose your box today! Why wait! But what about those poor Win2000 users? What becomes of their "security"? Guess it went the way of "Trustworthy Computing"! Boomph! Bah!

"FireFox is starting to be challenged, while it wasn't before its growth."

Nah, you ain't seen nuthin yet. When Microsoft sends out a few "patches" to help out Firefox, then you'll see the real challenge, broham.
