MICROSOFT'S head of security, Stephen Toulouse, has accidentally revealed that he
uses Firefox.
In an interview with Wired here, Toulouse was chatting about how security was an
industry wide problem and not Internet Explorer specific.
Then he mentioned that only that morning he had to download an upgrade to Firefox
to block a flaw that would've allowed an attacker to run a program on his system.
While he meant to point out how other browsers have the same problems as IE, he just
happened to reveal that he surfs using the rival browser.
Of course it is unlikely that he does not find IE a particularly secure proposition
and there must be a really good reason he has Firefox on his computer. Here are a
possible list of excuses:
1. His secretary downloaded it and he can’t work out how to uninstall it. He has
to keep updating to prevent from being a hole in his system.
2. He finds the orange and blue colour scheme calming.
3. He ritually has to swear at it as part of a Vole management rite.
4. He uses it to see if it can’t download the same pages that IE can and then laugh
if it can’t.
5. He is trying to know the enemy by using it.

Hard die Netscape user here, and very happy about it.....
