Why the latest IE flaw proves Linux got it right from the start
,----[ Quote ]
| You've all heard a major new flaw has been found affecting Internet Explorer
| all the way back to version 5. Microsoft pushed out a fix out of their
| regular "patch Tuesday" monthly schedule. The flaw has prompted some
| commentators to call for the replacement of IE with alternate browsers like
| Firefox. Just what was so serious? And what do Microsoft say that show Linux
| has the superior design?
