That Firefox/IE 6 "study", done by Microsft's business partner Symantec
for Microsoft, is totally and absolutely bogus. For example the first of 3
major problems is that it compares the number of NEW security issues
exploited in IE 6 in certain months four years after it's release to the total
number of theoretically possible security issues ever considered by Firefox
developers. It does not count any of the thousands of major security issues
widely reported (and widely exploited) in the first 4 years after IE 6 was released,
only new ones that were found in the first half of this year.
