much like the tendency of IE to display a file folder instead of a search
page if the term you type into the address bar is the same as the name of the folder on your computer.

it's always been a nuisance to me, not a feature.

but if some developer from oracle said that's what he wants, then that's what he gets.

M$ don't care what it does to the rest of us so long as the big money people are happy.

so the big money flows to M$ and then to all the selective breeding farms (like planned parenthood) all around the world.
are they trying to make sure we are all as smart and good looking as billy boy?

happy
