It truly proves that the grass is always greener on the other side  unless you
happen to step into some cow dung.

I wish I could say Bull S**t! Microsoft don't usually keep their promised to patch those problem in IE8 better stick with Firefox or Opera for everyday browsing used and only used Windows Update Patch in IE8.

Only those stuck on XP and don't have Windows 7 like Firefox.

On modern versions of Windows, you don't need IE for Windows updates.
By the way, unless you have credible sources, saying this is a huge troll...

PS: YoKenny, I do wonder what the benchmark they used does in the link you posted...since Chrome 6 has no hardware acceleration but FF 4 Beta and IE 9 Beta do, those "real world" results seem weird.

What a patently rubbish sweeping statement, how do you account for those win7 users that use firefox or chrome or opera. Your choice of browser is totally unrelated to the OS you are using as it is the browser, its functions, flexibility, extensions, security, etc. that suit your use of the browser and internet that determine which browser you like best.

My preference of Firefox v IE has nothing to do with the OS being used as that preference was made many years before Vista or win7 every came out.

By your own off the wall statement, you should be using firefox on your XP system

Even on XP you don't have to use IE for windows updates, you just use the inbuilt windows update, either Auto or Notify, etc.

Well said DavidR according to my current Secunia PSI my Firefox browser is fully patch see attachment, and only 1 insecure only in IE8, YoKenny you cannot improved your statement against XP users as DavidR said.
