This doesn't mean that W98 is secure. On Secunia's site the latest
(corrected) vulnerability is dated 20060613, less than 1 month ago, and
tomorrow someone could find a new one that won't be corrected.
I Could not tell you how many exploits are
out there for Internet Explorer or Outlook\Express that will allow
someone to compromise Windows 98 but I guess very few.
You don't need 2000 vulnerability. It's enough only one exploit to
create a 70 millions PC zombi net.
is a better solution then the open source
solutions that are notorious for features not working with Microsoft
rich websites (if the website\application loads at all).
Maybe you are just getting confused. One thing is security and another
one are the features. From a *security* point of view, OSS solutions
like FF or TB, can be more secure than the counterparts IE and OE.
However, AFAIR, browser's *features* are not the main topic of this
mailing list
Seems like the
major computer nerds always recommend firefox for windows however if you
use a lot of .NET web applications then firefox is a very poor solution.
Seems MS partners are recommending using IE, but if you use a lot of XUL
applications IE is really the worst solution.
But I think this is OT, here, don't you agree?
