Patch That Browser
    I don't use Internet Explorer even though it's still installed on my computer 
  (this thing is dang impossible to take off!). I switched years ago to Firefox 
  before IE 7 came out with tabs, and because Firefox is arguably the safer browser. 
  Plus, it's just cooler -- like an iPod versus a Zune. 
But was that the right choice? Well, according to a new 
  report, it was dead-on. IE is more vulnerable. 
One problem is that despite the well-publicized Patch Tuesdays and automated 
  tools like Windows Update, IE users patch their browsers less than other users. 
  The report also argues that it takes Microsoft too long to find a flaw and write 
  a patch. 
What makes the results just a wee bit suspect? The research was done by IBM 
  and Google. Hmm. 
What's your favorite browser and why? Tell us all by writing [email protected].
