If they keep this up, IE is going DOWN. I really like how they don't bother with patches but instead do a new release. As long as they install properly on top of a curent install (which they do) it beats patches, and makes it more convinient. (ex: clean install)

THE RUMPUS caused by the success of Mozilla's Firefox browser means it now comes under greater scrutiny and, as a result, more holes are bound to be discovered in the software.

A number of security problems were highlighted over the weekend, with details published by Mozilla, and a new version of the browser is now available for download.

Mozilla prefers to launch a whole new browser rather than issue security updates Microsoft-style.
