Re: Patches Galore!

Yet amazingly it's not "integrated" with the OS and so it isn't directly affected by 87% of Windows patch requirements.

In any case, I continue to recommend the Mozilla suite over the standalone Fireweasel.

If you're not applying 87% of Windows patches, you have a much larger problem than what browser you're running.

I disagree. I almost NEVER apply Windows patches. I really don't see a need to, unless there's a specific bug to address or unless the machine (server) is directly exposed to the Internet.

I could say, if you're running a generic Windows workstation without personal firewall software and without protection from an external NAT router or firewall, you have a much larger problem than what patches you've applied.
