OK, which is the pot, and which is the kettle?

Google’s Chrome Frame, a product that more or less transforms Internet Explorer 
into Google’s Chrome browser, immediately produced a condemnatory release 
from Microsoft, which claimed that Chrome Frame made Internet Explorer less 
secure, and chastised Google for releasing the product.  

[Much as I hate to agree with Microsoft, I've gotta say that they likely have a 
point -rms]

Google almost immediately fired back, implying that Microsoft was being 
deceptive toward its customers by painting Google’s up-to-date Chrome browser as 
less safe than antiquated versions of Internet Explorer in widespread enterprise 
use, citing Chrome’s modern malware protection and anti-phishing features. 
Google also pointedly excluded Internet Explorer from a list of browsers it says 
are modern and standards-compliant.  

[Google has some major security weaknesses of its own, but they've got IE's 
number on that one - rms]
