Beginning of the end for IE? I doubt it somehow, Microsoft will patch this vulnerability just like they patch most others, and the recommendation to switch browser was LAST on CERT's list. If everyone were to switch to Firefox, give it a month or so and there'd be just as many vulnerabilities exposed, purely due to it's popularity, Currently who would want to hack a browser with a low user base? Seem's to be very little point in that, much more effective to go for the majority.
