Bugs ahoy!

Good interview and nice to get a view straight from the horses mouth about the other side of the fence .... erm, I'll quit with the sayings now.

When people say that one application is plainly more secure than another I tend to doubt them instantly. Of course it frequently turns out to be a loyal fan of that application rather than an outside and independant voice of reason.

I for one like that Firefox updates when there is something that needs fixing, plus I can go and read all about the update what it changes and what it fixes.
With IE patches the updates aren't very frequent nor do they easily explain the content (read : Cumulative Update)

It's nice knowing what is going to be placed on your machine and I think as more users become alerted to Privacy related topics that an open method may appeal to them over the closed method.
