It's delicious to watch from those of us in the "It's software.  All software has security holes, the challenge is to get mitigations in place (including code reviews, threat models, software protections, etc) to ensure that they don't cause damage" camp.
Yep, I agree entirely. FF is more secure at this point in time, but that doesn't automatically equal security in the long term (although I use it and have confidence that the community will respond well to becoming a bigger target).

Features?  What features?  Before you go adding more "features" to Longhorn, let's fix the existing problems first.
It's a problem that the free (as in, at no additional cost) software is inferior to dedicated solutions with entire divions behind them? It's a problem that Windows is the largest target and will thus always have people finding exploits in it, no matter how secure?

OK, that second one is a problem, but not one that can ever be fixed until someone else takes over from MS. Bottom line is that what you expect isn't possible or reasonable.

But being insulted by the lead dev just isn't cool.

I've cut down the list to things unique to IE. I'm not sure about the last point, could someone explain it a little?

Sounds pretty screwed up. Did you ever submit those problems to bugzilla?

Especially since I'm completely bored with XP's crap (I use the term losely) graphics (as in, the interface, the window looks, and such and such.)
I'm of the complete opposite opinion: I think LG looks awful, expecially in comparison with XP. The colours, blocky windows, and overall poor deisgn just don't do it for me. The Java logo is the nicest thing they've ever come up with, and they probably hired someone else to do it. They should employ that person full-time.

Will it be as skinable as XP?
