The new ie (ie 7) is supposed to be better, the ie blocker that came with sp2 (i think) was rly good...firefox and opera do have there faults. Mircosoft takes longer to release new versions because alot of people will use them... opera 8, ie only at 6
Version numbers don't mean anything when comparing to another program. You just can't compare 2 different program's version numbers. IE could have from
1 -> 1.5 -> 2 -> 2.5 and so on.
While Opera went
1 -> 2 -> 3 -> 4 and so on.

In doing so, more exploits would just be found for Firefox/Opera and spyware/other 3rd party addons would just move to them.
Also, people feel more comfortable using the same manufacturer, either that, or they just don't know that alternatives to IE exist.
