Subject: IE is just as safe as FireFox

Do a search for reported vulnerabilities for IE and one for
Netscape/Mozilla.

I think by count alone IE will win.  

My biggest issue is that with a locked down system, IE can still install
malware, when the user can't even install system patches.  

If MS could fix that, there would be fewer issues.  But then they would have
to break the hooks between the browser and the OS.
