Usually I don’t read slashdot, but today I found on it a note saying that Microsoft is to cease support for Internet Explorer on the Macintosh at the end of 2005. I must agree with the slashdot poster that Macs will thus become even more secure. Even if most Mac users already use other browsers, every little bit helps.

Not only will Macs become inherently more secure, because not as many people will be using them to run one of the most exploit-attracting pieces of software out there, but software diversity will thereby be increased, thus increasing security for everyone.
