And brings us to an even more interesting question, since everything is trusting their in-browser root CAs and such. How trustable is the auto-update process? If one does provoke a mass-revocation of certificates and everyone needs to update their browsers... how do the auto-update daemons *know* that what they are getting is the real deal? [I haven't looked into this, just bringing it up. I'm almost certain its less secure than the joke that is SSL certification]. Happy New Year! Deepak
