When one of these non Microsoft browsers causes a Windows exploit, who will the user blame?

That will depend entirely where the fault lies. If faulty jpeg rendering is to blame and the browser is using MS library code for this, then MS should rightly get the blame.

Some months ago, I was discussing the security of Internet Explorer with a fan of Microsoft. Ultimately, I won the argument by asking this question - Have you ever heard of anyone actually getting a virus/trojan via a browser other than Internet Explorer?
