It seems to me here that we are forgetting the overused freedoms, to choose, whether informed or not. I've seen the same outbursts about the difference between IE and Mozilla browsers. I've seen the Mozilla and Firefox fans remind that they are less vulnerable. Yet, ever increasingly I am seeing reports of vulnerabilities in both on an even stevens basis. It seems to me - and I am no techie - that we are in the hands of those who like a challenge to cause vulnerability. It wont be long methinks before nothing is better than anything else. Can we all agree to disagree and accept that freedom of choice, respecting those who do when it seems that no one knows better than anyone else.
