and the couple of firefox security updates that they put out (and very quickly) were do to the crappy os (xp) not the browser
the other big PITA is all the crap AOL installs even when u tell it NOT to, i swear they are owned by m$ (like weatherbug), not to mention all thier popups that install crap with telling.
