Subject: Internet Explorer Vuln Report,
	Debunked [Jeff R. Jones is becoming FUD-master]

Jeff R. Jones, a director of security strategy for Microsoft, has
issued another report on the security of Internet Explorer as compared
to Mozilla Firefox.  Now, we all understand that any software product
will have security issues, but Mr. Jones bases his analysis on the
fact that Mozilla patches more frequently.  See the report here on his
blog.

I have refuted the claims of a previous report on Microsoft Vista, but
instead of doing that again, I think the following excellent quote
sums up the entire analysis done by Mr. Jones -> "Just because
dentists fix more teeth in America doesn't mean our teeth are worse
than in Africa."
