    I don't know..maybe over 80% of internet users.

    How many here that used IE previously actually had a security breach?

    I still use it and never have except one instance where it was website...showing...you guessed it....a security breach.

    In my opinion, the security issues within Internet Explorer, exsist solely because of it's high user-base. It really does not make much sense to exploit anything (in this case a web browser) that so few people (compared to the total number of internet users as a whole) utilize... it would be like robbing a 7-Eleven convenience store. You are just not going to obtain much out of the deal.

    As Netscape and FireFox users nab more of the browser market, you are likely to start seeing vulnerabilities unique to those applications emerge in rather alarming numbers. Call it "internet eco-nomics".
