David Keppelmeyer trying to explain why using firefox will weak the whole business....
"The end result is more attacks directly on Microsoft Internet Explorer users. Since open source browsers can't compete with Internet Explorer in the realm of features, they are attempting to undergrow our market share, making each IE user more likely to be attacked by the greater relative numbers of viruses, worms and malicious trojans".
...
"That's an underhanded, abhorrent tactic."
...
"If you are a business that uses Internet Explorer and other businesses are using Firefox, when the next worm hits it's you that suffers. That's directly the fault of Firefox adopters. In effect other businesses who have switched have squeezed more attacks your way". more Here

As M$ said in the past:
- open source may be helping terrorist,
- open source is not interoperable
- open source is insecure, has more bugs,
- open source TOC is higher than windows,
all sentences above has proven with time to be ridiculous. That let me think, M$ is in no mre in a defensive mode but rather in a panic mode..Future look exciting!

Wow, that is just about the wrongest, most idiotic thing I've ever
read.

Wasn't the increased market share of Windows and IE supposed to be
the explanation for the proliferation of viruses, trojans, and
mal-ware for Windows and IE? Then, doesn't it stand to reason that reduced
market share would make the products more secure?

Or is the total
damage done by mal-ware against Microsoft products some sort of
universal constant? Thus, a smaller market for Internet Explorer means
greater damage done to each user, maintaining that constant. Makes about as
much sense as Catholicism.

If I live in a city with a low crime
rate, am I somehow responsible for the higher crime rates in other cities?
If I'm a good driver, can you blame your high accident rates
on me?

Here's the kiss of death though: "Since open source
browsers can't compete...
