Great, informative read. Spread the word - IE is dangerous.

Some part of this page I don't agree with. Security vulnerabilities says nothing. I even believe the more are reported, the better.

However, patch delays says it all, and I'm glad Firefox and Opera are doing great.

Great site, the tables and graphs are quite nice ... some more useful than others, but still very informative.

Oh, and on the same site there is another Firefox myths article (looks like this one may be the original)

There is another article entitled "Firefox Myths" that has been spammed on hundreds of websites. The article contains some deliberate misquotes from me and several others who pointed out flaws in the page, and it also contains other lies and libel. The author has even posed as me in discussion forums in support of his page. He has an extensive history of lying about his identity and relation to the article, and his persistent spam techniques and trolling have gotten him permanently banned from many websites including digg (http://www.digg.com/), Neowin (http://www.neowin.net/), and TechSpot (http://www.techspot.com/). His article should be regarded with a high degree of skepticism.

Very interesting indeed ...

I agree, but at least it has other useful information to support it's claim.

I think the title of the thread was ment to be called 'Internet Explorer is like opening your front-door and leaving your valuables on the cofee table'.
