Nice article.

There's one big point that he gets wrong, and that is the suggestion that
Microsoft fixes the security vulnerabilities in IE. I wish I could find
the link (can anyone help me out here?), but there is a site that keeps a
list of the unpatched vulnerabilities in the latest IE, and it always has
plenty (50 or more). If anyone knows the URL, it might be nice to pass it
along to the author.

My favorite quote from this article:

"You know, fool me once, shame on you; fool me twice, shame on me. Who's
shamed when it's "fool me the 432nd time"? Who's the fool?"

The sad truth can be funny sometimes. :-)
