The reason to change, graphically demonstrated

The reason to change from IE to Firefox, that is, through their pages at Secunia, a online security advisory website:

Secunia product summary for Internet Explorer.
For comparison, their summary for Mozilla Firefox.

They also feature the latest highly critical IE vulnerability, reported on August 19th, 2004 - that is 50 days ago, as of this writing - prominently on their
main page. Furthermore, a closer look at IE's summary page reveals that microsoft currently has one extremely critical and four highly critical vulnerabilites unpatched, the oldest of those from August 14th, 2003.

An excellent demonstration of mircosoft's concern about security, I believe - or rather, their lack of it. Nor do I think that will change.
