  1. ZOMG, THE SKY IS FALLING!!!!

    Seriously guys, if Chrome or FF fail it is because THEY fail, not because MS limits their deployment.

    It amuses me to watch people get all spun up by things like this. Don't like what a company does? Then don't buy their products, but don't say they don't have the right to make the product they want so long as they're not killing or causing someone bodily harm.

    The whole antitrust lawsuit in the beginning was a sad and pathetic attempt by Netscape, et al. to not work harder to educate consumers why they should use their product over the one that came installed on their computers.

    As you may have heard in the news tuitions are going up all over. In other words "an education" these days, costs both more to give and more to get. In yet other words, small companies can't afford to give out the "education" you're advocating.

    The "for security" argument doesn't work for Internet Explorer. What an awful browser. And don't visit internetexplorer.com for god's sake. It's blacklisted with Spybot Search and Destory.
  4. Another reason to use open source software...
  5. I don't really know what they are worried about, it's not like Vista 2.0 is going to sell very well.
  6. Just like Netscape. So why do you do this? So even more people will hate you? I don't get it. Just give the people what they want and you will make money... Everyone's Happy.
