The IE 7 release will be great for the popularity of firefox.
Lots of companies run windows 2000 and there won't be a new IE for windows 2000.
An upgrade to XP is just to expensive for most companies.
Firefox will have an advantage because it offers the same features as IE 7, it's free and it runs on most windows versions.

IE being safer than Firefox? Nah. It's just you falling under the arms of Microsoft's propaganda.

IE7 does far from impress me, in fact, it just proves my point that Microsoft is bad for the world, because of their amateur programming, their lack of understanding a correct struture of a program, and all that jazz.

Microsoft shouldn't do software. The world is bleeding cause of it, shouldn't surprise me if it's Windows' fault their even is a war in Iraq.

You fail at life, yes it will happen. Major companies in Denmark has already changed to Firefox, cause it is better.

So shush.

I am not falling under Microsoft propaganda at all. I am just asking because I have heard that it would be beating Firefox in security. I am not however, saying it is safer.

Hahaha. Danish companies have no bearing on the international market. Large international countries won't do it. They will stick with IE, because they can afford to upgrade to XP/Vista etc, and thus can use IE7. It would take too long to train many office workers to use another browser, because they are not all tech savvy; and the lack of a big corporation to shout at when Firefox fails will always put them off.

Moo, I was commenting on Dane's post.

Anyways, it probably wont, cause Microsoft just tries to cover the most common fawls and then say; "OMG MORE SECURE THAN FIREFOX!!! MWHAHAHAHA".

And reality is that it's just one bit of the Internet it wins over Firefox at. But that's because it's IE problems. :\ So it can't be more secure than Firefox. lol

Once again you fail. Cause major companies around the world are changing to Linux, and oi! Does IE work under Linux? I thought so, I wouldn't be bothered trying to get IE to work under Linux, when I can choose between Firefox and Opera. Mmmm...
