 It appears we weren't the only people in the world
looking a bit askance at Microsoft's Security Strategy Director Jeff
Jones's claims of superiority on the security front with Internet
Explorer compared to other browsers. Technology Strategist for Mozilla,
Mike Shaver, had quite alot to say about the dodgy reasoning involved
in Mr. Jones's whitepaper.If Mozilla wanted to do better than Microsoft on this report, we would have an easy path: stop fixing and disclosing bugs that we find in-house. It is well known that Microsoft redacts release notes for service packs and bundles fixes, sometimes meaning that you get a single vulnerability “counted” for, say, seven defects repaired. Or maybe you don’t hear about it at all, because it was rolled into SP2 and they didn’t make any noise about it. Pretty harsh words, but also quite accurate ones. It's a bit of a shame to see Microsoft resorting to this level of spin and backward logic, solely because Mozilla's whipping their butt on the browser front.
