Is There Intelligent Life on Planet Microsoft?

By ColonelZen, Section Logbooks
Posted on Thu Nov 11th, 2004 at 18:37:19 EST

Todays submission addressing that quetsion: http://news.com.com/Microsoft+says+Firefox+not+a+threat+to+IE/2100-1032_3-5448719.html
(which I shamelessly stole from peecee_user's SCOX post 204805)

Among the goodies:

(IE) "is no less secure than any other browser."

"If there are features in our products that are subpar or need to be added, then I have great confidence that we are an organization that responds pretty quickly and effectively to that."

" features such as tabbed browsing are not important to IE users."

Of course there are lots of add-ons available for IE that aren't yet available for Firefox ... Like adware blockers that install adware and virus scanners that install viruses.

i dont understand the procedures for reporting vulns completely yet.the recent announcement from finjam was very confusing to me.does F/OSS differ in the reporting of vulns?
the way i see it a researcher reports the vuln to the vendor? then gives the vendor a certain length of time to post a patch?
how does F/OSS differ from proprietary reporting?
how much time is given to fix?

This used to be a spambot post that is flooding the site. Due to volume, I had to resort to this while I work to block access by these bots. My apologies - thanks for your patience.
