It would be interesting to know who commissioned the "research".

Automated source code tools have no knowledge of the real world, they tell you about your source code, not about the finished executable; there's a whole world of compilers and linkers in-between. Not only that, they typically treat all problems they find as being of equal severity. To make effective use of the tools requires considerable knowledge of both source code and the development tools, which no outside agency is likely to have.

I use both Firefox and Opera - I have found them both to be very stable and reliable, which is a lot more than can be said for Internet Exploder.
