It's rather hypocritical, I'd say, that Mozilla/Firefox fanatics rant and rave about how slowly Microsoft provides patches for IE, and how Firefox can turn out a patch in a matter of days - ummm, hello?!! People don't want to patch their browser every few days!!! If you think back, dorks, MS used to do patches all the time, and everyone got sick of it. Since they've gone to monthly patches, everyone's happier (for the most part). If you weirdos get your way and everyone in the world actually dumps IE and starts using an 'alternative' browser, then you're going to have to follow in Microsoft's footsteps and only do your updates once a month, too. So long to the nightly builds, constant patching, and annoying 'Hey! Your copy of Mozilla is more than four weeks old' messages... Who wants to install a new browser every month? Mozilla better figure out an automatic update solution, too, because having to uninstall and reinstall installations simply isn't going to happen for regular users.
