"We already have FireFox here.

well that does not apply to you then keep using firefox , other people may be more interested in the new features that IE7 has to offer concerning RSS .
It will be very naive to think that firefox does not have any security flaws or loopholes. There is always a bug or flaw that can be put to malicious use.
It is also obvious that you wont experience any security issue with a product that just comes on the market.
Usually its after a 2-3 months period that you might be experiencing security threats. Since longhorn is a new OS in itself making use of a new file system with enhanced protections hackers will take their time before creating virus or hacks that can cause harm on your pc.
Actually this is why Microsoft has started beta testing 1 year before the initial release of LongHorn + I.E 7 to detect any such threats.
But on the whole most common people are interested on new functionalities that I.E 7 might produce rather than about security
, dont forget that for every bug there is always a patch! ;)
