something really funny
something really funny about this is in three or four years after popup blockers have become standard for IE there will be MS lovers saying this almost word for word: "Linux and Mac are just clones of Windows...just look at pop up blockers...". Something along the same lines as every UI used today for Oses...MS zealots seam to easily confuse industry standards adopted over time thanks to a monopoly and someone cloning a feature because they are to dumb to do it any other way. You can't get rid of the "start button" tomorrow even if you had a UI that was a billion times better. People have been trained a certain way and it will take time to train them differently. Hence the entire reason why so many average to experience PC users complain about switching over to Linux being so complicated while noob PC users don't care one way or another.
