MSIE was 98% unsafe. There were only 7 days in 2004 without an unpatched
publicly disclosed security hole.
Firefox was 15% unsafe.

Opera was 17% unsafe: 65 days.

Der Internet Explorer war 2004 an 359 Tagen (98% der Zeit) unsicher.

Schneier (bei zu vermutenden nicht publizierten aber von den "Bad Guys"
ausnutzbaren Sicherheitslöchern): "So the "98% unsafe" figure for MSIE
is *generous*, and the situation might be *even worse*."
