.01 % = significant gains? No_Ax_to_Grind | 09/15/04

Where'd you get that number? Michael Kelly | 09/15/04

I believe he read it on ZDNet bidemytime | 09/15/04

Pulled it out of my backside, just like everyone else. No_Ax_to_Grind | 09/15/04

Thanks for the honesty Michael Kelly | 09/15/04

Hey, I'll fess up... No_Ax_to_Grind | 09/15/04

Poor word choice tic swayback | 09/15/04

They "prefer" to not bother with it. No_Ax_to_Grind | 09/15/04

I'd use the word "ignorant" rather than "prefer" tic swayback | 09/15/04

I guess, that's why michael-t | 09/15/04

Actually, I was doing my open source supporter imitation. No_Ax_to_Grind | 09/15/04

Ya never know.. Jeff Spicoli | 09/15/04

Is that another of your childish threats? No_Ax_to_Grind | 09/15/04

I said that purely hypothetically.. Jeff Spicoli | 09/15/04

Buwahahaha No_Ax_to_Grind | 09/15/04

Is this another one of those things that emerge from the behind? Jeff Spicoli | 09/15/04

Y'know, I can see why you'd be banned. Linux_Developer | 09/15/04

PLease explain to me why then, linux "developer" Jeff Spicoli | 09/15/04

Here are a few for starters... Linux_Developer | 09/15/04

Here are a few more for you, SS. Linux_Developer | 09/16/04

Or, more likely, AmusedAtItAll | 09/15/04

Your ignorance is amazing! FreeBSD | 09/15/04

No, your coice is not mine. That doesn't make you ignorant. No_Ax_to_Grind | 09/15/04

IE doesn't suck, just lacks voska | 09/15/04

And.. FreeBSD | 09/15/04

Never said they were intelligent. LOL(NT) voska | 09/15/04

RE:.01 % = significant gains? Msche2000 | 09/15/04

Come again? Linux_Developer | 09/15/04

Pulling numbers out of your ass? d_jedi | 09/15/04

But Sadly ... coffeenite | 09/15/04

That is because.. FreeBSD | 09/15/04

BZZZZZT wrong! No_Ax_to_Grind | 09/15/04

Link please? Immanuel Tranz-Mischen | 09/15/04

I have an idea php_developer | 09/15/04

Irrelevant David Hamilton | 09/16/04

WHAT?!! Eggs Ackley_z | 09/16/04

OK (includes correction) David Hamilton | 09/16/04

Best kept secret on the Net David Hamilton | 09/16/04

Still like Mozilla better then Firefox. computer_man | 09/15/04

Funny I found the opposite voska | 09/15/04

The site renders fine in FireFox coffeenite | 09/16/04

Microsoft's response will be? Nigel Johnstone | 09/15/04

Their responce, a good chukle and back to work. No_Ax_to_Grind | 09/15/04

I guess that's why IE sucks so bad nowadays Jeff Spicoli | 09/15/04

Yup, 95% of the population has it wrong.. No_Ax_to_Grind | 09/15/04

Hey, most of the country thinks arabs bombed the world trade center.. Jeff Spicoli | 09/15/04

And the little green men are coming for you too. No_Ax_to_Grind | 09/15/04

C'mon Ax -- you know your gubmint better than that Jeff Spicoli | 09/15/04

Don't try to argue with him, Ax. Linux_Developer | 09/15/04

Please, Jeff . . . CobraA1 | 09/15/04

They very well could be wrong voska | 09/15/04

how many of those 95%... ryusen | 09/15/04

Are you saying.. zazu56@... | 09/17/04

IE has not been upgraded in 3 years, such that it is the chokepoint. B.O.F.H. | 09/15/04

I guess that's why IE sucks so bad nowadays CodeBubba | 09/16/04

Please keep using IE debbieL_z | 09/16/04

Obviously . . . xero11 | 09/15/04

More obvious, bells and whistles don't matter. No_Ax_to_Grind | 09/15/04

Clearly that's their reasoning tic swayback | 09/15/04

No one's against bells and whistles voska | 09/15/04

Personally, I'd rather it all be bolted.. d_jedi | 09/15/04

a better way, ryusen | 09/15/04

thing about bells and whistles... ryusen | 09/15/04

Obviously... CodeBubba | 09/16/04

Guess that's why they suddenly started working on it again voska | 09/15/04

The Opera incident says otherwise Nigel Johnstone | 09/15/04

Truth be told Michael Kelly | 09/15/04

Not even close... No_Ax_to_Grind | 09/15/04

The problem with those sites... Michael Kelly | 09/15/04

True. No_Ax_to_Grind | 09/15/04

How do you know? Jeff Spicoli | 09/15/04

Would you like me to tell you why your wrong? No_Ax_to_Grind | 09/15/04

Please do, esp. since you already admitted that a lot could be spoofed.. Jeff Spicoli | 09/15/04

Just for you Jeff... No_Ax_to_Grind | 09/15/04

Butting in here AbsolutelyNot | 09/15/04

Very true. Linux_Developer | 09/15/04

Interesting converstation I had voska | 09/15/04

63% vs. 1% Linux_Developer | 09/15/04

a point of contention: ryusen | 09/15/04

I'd say you're correct. AmusedAtItAll | 09/15/04

But MS is not giving up the game. Linux_Developer | 09/15/04

That's an interesting question. Linux_Developer | 09/15/04

I'm an ordinary home user ladyjet@... | 09/18/04
