AFAIK, this is a PC only exploit.
Later on he mentions the issue of Moz/Firefox having had more
security holes fixed than IE recently. That's interesting FUD, IMO --
1) They're talking about *fixed* holes. There are a number of
long-standing holes in IE that MS seems unable to handle.
2) MS' documentation as to what's in their mass-patch packages does
not cover all that's actually there. IOW, there have been many
patches to components used by IE directly or indirectly that are "not
counted".
3) Then there's the public nature of Moz, because it is Open Source.
MS' security-by-obscurity is a joke. Nuf said.
FWIW,
