Default German government warns against using MS Explorer

Now this must be the news of 2010

After nearly 10 years of unlimited patches, hotfixes and service Packs,
IE is still a weak link in recent attacks on Google's systems. Either
M$ is now threatened by Googles rise to prominence or IE is completely
rubbish. Either way we should start taking instructions from the German
government if this article is anything to go by.

Is google's search engine more powerful than M$ Bing?

"So far, Microsoft "has not seen widespread customer impact, rather
only targeted and limited attacks exploiting Internet Explorer 6""

Someone is still running IE 6?

Firefox and Mac OSs have just as many security vulnerabilities and
patches as IE and Windows.
