Modern Day Marketing . . Annoying.
Microsoft seems to have adopted the modern day method of marketing. Make an announcement, offer the minimum amount of information as possible and then wait for the predictable questions. This guarantees maximum exposure to the subject matter. You only had two questions, but if dozens of questions surface and they answer each one singularly this could go on for days. Effective, but annoying as hell. happy

Regarding browsers, I think MS should just cut a deal with Mozilla/Firefox to bundle both IE8 and Firefox v3.5 together and then allow the user to select one or both ! IE8 could have Live selected as default home page and Firefox could have Google. I would take both. This frees up MS from anti-trust lawsuits and secures Live Search as a default search engine and secures Google's investment in Mozilla. It gives users a real choice and makes all the software providers happy !! :))

Yeah, I know, never happen.
