Just days after the launch of open-source browser Firefox 1.0, Microsoft executives defended Internet Explorer, saying it is no less secure than any other browser and doesn't lack any important features.

Microsoft Says Firefox Not a Threat to IE! Also on Slashdot.

Smooth one Microsoft. Really reeaaallly smooooooth. As far as I know, every news source out there (including MSN) has articles about how insecure IE is. The US Government (US CERT) has issued warnings about it for pete’s sake (poor pete).

Come on, Microsoft, I’ve had plenty of doubts and dislikes about you, but I thought you were better than this.
