"maybe you should alert"

In due time.

The main reason that IE's flaws are far more frequent is because there are a lot more people trying to break IE. What's the market share for FF, did it even break 10% yet? And IE is what, 85% or so? If you want to create a botnet, which would you target and spend your time auditing? This issue has been discussed so many times, yet there are still loads and loads of people who blindly insist that FF/Opera/etc are the holy grail of browsers. My complaint about IE and M$ in general is not so much the holes, but rather how they deal with them.

Just b/c virii aren't widespread on *nix/mac doesn't mean anything other than the fact that the OS model is not as effective for transmitting such things. Does it really make you happier to have a trojan installed though?

I don't work for M$. In fact I don't even run windows right now. However that doesn't mean I'm going to run around sucking off the open source community and telling everyone I know that they should switch to Linux. I'll leave that to the slashdot crowd.
