Microsoft may have created the worst internet browser in the history of mankind and then pre-installed it on your operating system, but I have yet to hear of a single patch from Windows Update that physically renders your computer's internal hardware completely unusable just because you installed Firefox or Opera or the Java JRE from Sun.
Perspective, people. It's not just a twenty-seven syllable word.
