and open source vs closed source has how much to do with this? How many CVEs in the first two weeks do you think IE would have if the source became public?

Maybe it's just me, but I'm not going to say browser security is good enough until the CVE count drops to zero, and even then bugs patches aren't a good metric, etc, etc.

Having said that; props on protected mode on Vista. Though this doesn't mean that having exploitable vulns is ok. And there's also clearly still room for improvement with it, and the fact that you say _most_ rather than all still leaves me a bit uneasy (even though I'm assuming this is just to write to the cache), and I would personally prefer it if IE couldn't read from most of the disk either, but it's a step in the right direction (being a web guy; if I can get you to perform actions on your bank site with your credentials, etc, etc, it's still bad).

In the same MyITForum.com newsletter where I got this other tantalizing piece of IE info, I also read a pass-through post where Robert Hensing deconstructs some misinformation posted by the USA Today. Specifically, he finds that in reading through the
