There was nothing much to write about the report..
Although you have said I have copied but if you read it again and compare, you may see, I just have pointed towards the report..
It was a MS funded study hence there was nothing which needed detailed explanation
…
Thanks..

well no comments !! choto cheeta i am a reader of ur blof for a long time! but this time with this post i am really disappointed ! here the report made was supported & funded by microsoft and worst part of it, when IE 8 RC 1 was taken for study they must took Opera 10 aplha , Firefox 3.1beta & safari 4 beta and Chrome 2 beta !! and funniest part is Opera cud not provide protection against malware which gives IE 8 ! ha ha !! http://my.opera.com/haavard/blog/2009/03/26/malware-report-from-nss-labs-manipulates-statistics Read it !!
