For the windows troll
You certainly do have an axe to grind. You've openly stated that "if it ain't windows, it
ain't right". But more to the point. IE was "pushed out as a critical security update and
many users don't know how to disable automatic updates. SO they didn't not choose
it, but rather were pushed into getting it. That's the typical Microsoft way. Just like
WGA was listed as a critical security update, when in reality it's nothing more than
spyware.
