    They are both working with each other to try and stop the vunerbilities that BOTH bowsers have. Suprising but good news, working on all fronts will help minimize the potential vulerabilities.

    Friendship of wolves. They hunt together and when it's time to share the prey they fight each other. :hammer
    Why would MS need this partnership anyway?

    They most likely dont in reality, but is it not better to have two heads working on this PITA problem, narrowing down vunerabilities will help in a small part to remove some malware potential holes.

    Now FF has a grip on % of browsers used and is growing, its a target now for malicious software writers, if they can work together or separatly in reducting the holes in their respective softwares its all good for the end user.
