Well, he *does* work for M$.

Now, about the darn security fixes. These are tough. Tougher than it might
seem on the outside. Why? Because Internet Explorer's engine is used in
several different OS's. Dozens of different languages. Thousands of
different applications. Changing one line of code in the inards of Windows
means potentially breaking a large number of applications. That's
unacceptable to the team. So, when they change things, they need to do it in
a way that doesn't break things for customers.

Just imagine several different OS's! He ever tried to open Mozilla's or
Opera's download pages?..
