    Microsoft's security and mangement product manager (Ben English) says...

     At a security roundtable discussion in Sydney on Thursday, Ben English,
    Microsoft's security and management product manager, told attendees that
    IE undergoes "rigorous code reviews" and is no less secure than any
    other browser.

    "Because IE is ubiquitous, you hear a lot more about it, but I don't
    think that Internet Explorer is any less secure than any other browser
    out there," English said.
