| 516536 | 2007-01-17 00:48:00 | winmacguy, afraid not, according to this article, "Microsoft announced Friday it has hit the 100 million installation milestone for Internet Explorer 7, a figure that makes the new browser the second most used behind IE6." www.betanews.com Are people so undiscerning as to use the MS monstrosity rather than Firefox/Opera? Why trash something that has never been rubbish... Ive never once had a problem with any IE series of internet browser. Tell you what though, get damn sick of the firefocks fanboys harping on about how great it supposed to be. |

| 516537 | 2007-01-17 00:54:00 | That is probably all the forced downloads from the Microsoft Mothership to its vast user base. I thought it was all about "choice" mmmaybe not. | winmacguy (3367) | ||

| 516540 | 2007-01-17 01:37:00 | One day at the Firefocks development centre whilst putting together v2. Programmer 1 : Hey, we have made the second version of firefox, nothing really seperates it from other browsers, how can we make it different Programmer 2 : hmm, good point...What if we added a coffee maker to it ? Programmer 1 : Nah, that won't work Programmer 2 : hmmm, ok then, what about an instant ice maker ? Programmer 1 : no no no, something a little more practical Programmer 2 : SpellChecker ? Programmer 1 : ZOMG, THAT IS IT!!! a spell checker, because over 80% of people who use the internets are dumb. Programmer 2 : wow, reeli ? Programmer 1 : Yeah. Now that's sorted, what should we put in V3 ? Programmer 2 : SpellChecker V2 ? Brought to you by Jams productions Inc. |

| 516541 | 2007-01-17 01:42:00 | Same thing could be said for most of the stuff MS puts out, only catch it most of the time it doesn't work until the second update. | winmacguy (3367) | ||
| 516542 | 2007-01-17 01:48:00 | More like playing unsafe. :badpc: Although I have IE6, I have Firefox as well. |

| 516543 | 2007-01-17 04:17:00 | Might be a good idea to use FF rather than IE6 then :) | winmacguy (3367) | ||
| 516544 | 2007-01-17 04:54:00 | mode3, there is this, I have never used it so have no idea about what the ramifications may be: www.majorgeeks.com Have a look at how many times it has been Downloaded: 145736 Times. |

You seem more than capable of slagging off what could be termed a mildly successful company. I'm sure Mr Gates would value your input and advice; clearly he has a lot to learn. So here you go. Teach him. Floor's yours. What is wrong with MS products, and what would you do to fix it? |
