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. http://blogs.technet.com/security/archive/2007/11/30/download-internet-explorer-and-firefox-vulnerability-analysis.aspx 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." -- Kristian Erik Hermansen "I have no special talent. I am only passionately curious." _______________________________________________ Full-Disclosure - We believe in it.
