Subject: IE is just as safe as FireFox

They should've at least released that statement after they fixed the
IE FRAME vulnerability. 0 day exploit is in the wild and no fix for
it, yet they claim its secure enough.

If the programmers are as smart as the company press releasers, I can
see  why I.E. still sux.
