Microsoft launches YourBrowserMatters.org to highlight the risk of socially engineered malware in old browsers. Microsoft ranks each browser from 0-4 on a scale system. The ranking system uses data from various third parties to asses the important aspects of browser security. The site also encourages users to upgrade to the latest version of their browser.

I have an up to date Firefox, but Firefox completely SUCKS when it comes to file downloads. I wish it would adopt a safer and more secure way to treat file downloads similar to IE9. If only IE9 had a spell check, then I would be there full time.

This is known as advertising. Pick the items that your product is good at, and then show a chart of how the competitors stand up against your selected items.

As much as I try to frame this Metro layout it's always an eye sore and a hyped interface style.

I agree with you Villain. I'm a fan of IE9's SmartScreen Filter but YourBrowserMatters.org is just an advertisement of IE.
