This is Why I have a Mac and this is Why I use Safari

The new I.E, now complete with even more swiss cheese-like security.

I do agree with you that IE within WinXP has potential to make you have a bad day, BUT there have been many fixes and holes patched. If you are using an anti-virus solution and keep your definitions up to date the threat is nil. Vista is better as far as IE7 goes...it's treated as a separate process and does not have the same hooks as in WinXP Hardware may not respond and seem like it is fucked, but it is undamaged and can be installed on another comp without failure.

I don't believe that's true (kernel - BIOS - hardware.) Can you prove that? Post a link please. I don't believe that the BIOS does any processing. I believe it goes through the CPU (there may be a copy of the Bios within the OS). The Bios is just mostly data with machine code that is processed through the CPU at POST. It would seem stupid and cumbersome for the kernel to always be seeking permission from the bios instead of directly communicating with the hardware VIA the mainboard.

thats how it works on linux couldnt tell you on windows there kernal is closed and macs use openfirmware not a BIOS

What I said is true on the x86 architecture. It doesn't matter which OS it is (Win, Linux). I don't know about Apples chip architecture though. I still believe that IE, let alone Windows, will not harm hardware. You've said nothing yet that will convince me of that. I believe that "Why Internet Explorer can be harmful to your hardware" is the same as me saying "The world is flat, and here is why" This video is not correct Internet Explorer will not harm your hardware.

apple uses an X86 arch but it doesnt use a BIOS it uses ope firmware i never sid windows could what i am sayig is tha internet exploere leaves many holes to exploit and id also like to mention there re windows cerfied motherboards specifically made to communicate with windows this product does communicate with the OS but for the most part your right

Windows Certified Motherboards just means that MS and the manufacturer got together and consulted on drivers that were placed within the Windows CD/DVD. It's marketing. Those same motherboards would work as well in Linux if the correct drivers were written by the community. I may be wrong but I thought that IBM invented the x86 architecture then gave it away and apple had their own propriety arch....until recently they introduced Intel processors.
