That IE 9 be a lot better than the previous version is a good thing (and one everybody could legitimately expect), but its release versions are less than two months old, ranking high or best in some tests is a good thing too, but it's a little bit early to declare it a winner. Particularly considering that through decennia of security disasters, MS regularly declared each new version of its most pierced products finally secure (even Windows 2000, probably one of the best MS OS' ever needed 4 service packs before finally becoming stable and secure enough). Moreover IE 9 runs only on Vista and successive Windows versions, this leaves more than 1 billion users with the utterly crappy previous versions of the browser. In any case, MS' choice to link IE so closely to Windows will always be a potential source of bigger troubles in case of security breaches.
