Internet Explorer and Firefox Vulnerability Analysis Report | |

For most people, their web browser is central to their interaction with the Internet, connecting to global web sites and helping them consume online services providing everything from booking flights to banking services to online shopping. This reality makes browsers a key tool when evaluating the security experience of users as the browser interprets Web content and programs delivered from around the world. Over the past few years, there has been much discussion of the need for improvements in browser security, but few hard data studies performed to support assertions concerning the security of available browsers. | ||

#25, you still miss the point - proving that you really are trying to bake the clay in your head...
Clearly, I am speaking to architecture and platform... not just "Protected Mode" in isolation of the rest of the platform, but the larger and more comprehensive approach Vista offers and supports opposite online security. So my faith in Vista security is not limited to just one thing - but how the platform works across all its layers. My part of the discussion is about IE 7 and security - where PM, as it leverages UIPI, and many other related layers of security, provides for a safer browsing experience. It's not just PM, but the platform and the most secure browsing experience is found in IE 7 in PM under Vista - not FF/Moz - not IE 6, Not XP, Not FF on XP, or Vista... You may boot-to-bash Vista, but that is not the same as understanding how Vista's technologies make a user more secure than any previous version of Windows. I've been very candid about what I don't like about Vista - you need to be more objective and at least explore what makes it more secure. You have not demonstrated that kind of objectivity in this context. |

| On the other hand, if you run XP with lots of security enhancing add-ons, like NOD32, NAV, whatever IE addons you can find to add security to the browsing experience, etc., this will all help make IE more secure, and thus less prone to attacks. This is still irrelevant, as is your assertion that Vista makes all IE's bugs go away because of its protected mode. Unless IE 7 for Vista is a COMPLETELY separate code base from IE 7 for XP, then your argument is meaningless and irrelevant. This is about IE and Firefox vulnerabilities in general, not IE 7 in XP versus IE 7 in Vista. It is about what gets reported as broken, and what gets reported as being fixed, both internally and externally. The fact that PM protects you against some forms of malware attacks is irrelevant to the discussion of whether or not there are defects in IE to begin with, and their extent, both reported and unreported. IE 7 in PM probably IS more secure than IE 7 without PM, but that is meaningless to the discussion at hand. |
