thats kind of backwards logic if you ask me, if anything its the other way around, while firefox is constantly fixing security holes and updating their browser IE sits stagnent giving ample time for every hacker and his mother to find and exploit every possible hole before it is fixed...i always thought microsoft was stupid but this is a new level even for them...

there should be a law against companies providing false information to the public

I think this is just a scheme to make people use IE7 more. I think that IE7 sucks if you ask me and since I've been using Firefox, I haven't clicked on the IE7 icon a single time
