Which browsers?

This article only mentions IE, and only says that they're adding in fixes to alleviate these problems.
This gives the impression that ALL browsers are vulnerable and that only M$ is doing antyhing to address the problem.
But isn't it true that 95% of all browser-vulnerabilities/exploits are ONLY dangerous to users of M$'s shoddy POS-ware?
(hint: yes...)

This story is misleading in that it seems to indict all browsers when in fact it is only IE that has been endowed with the ability to breach OS kernel security. This was done deliberatly back during the browser wars so MS could prove that IE was an integral part of the OS and not just an add-on. MS has a record of tweaking their software and apps to quash competition reardless of consequences.
