Microsoft's head of security, Stephen Toulouse, has accidentally revealed that he uses Firefox.
In an interview with Wired here , Toulouse was chatting about how security was an industry wide problem and not Internet Explorer specific.
Then he mentioned that only that morning he had to download an upgrade to Firefox to block a flaw that would've allowed an attacker to run a program on his system.
While he meant to point out how other browsers have the same problems as IE, he just happened to reveal that he surfs using the rival browser.
I am surprised he doesn't use every browser. Since Microsoft doens't think of all the stuff it sells and uses. The allow other companies to find this for them and then incorporate those things into Micorsoft's software. In other words, he is most likely looking at how Mozilla fixes problems with FireFox and then see if they can be used to fix problems in IE. But then agian, that is just my interpretation.
