If you are actually talking about BUGS, then yes. But I think you are saying BUGS when you actually mean EXPLOITS, 99% of the time, MS has a patch for an exploit out before it effects most users, alot of times before it effects any users... infact, most exploits are made popular through MS patches, rouge websites learn about these exploits by studying MS knowledge base and then attacking unpatched browsers.
While I can't stand IE and its unconforming ways (it renders pages like shit), you simply can not honestly attack one of the best anti-exploit teams in the world. MS has 50 times the resources to handle exploit detection and protection over mozilla, and MS uses them.
The only reason firefox
s OSS model can fix BUGS faster, well, they dont have to worry about bugs creating bugs, if you use unoffical patches and if it fucks something up, tough shit... mozilla takes forever and two days to release an offical bug fix though.
