No, uncool companies own 95% of the operating system world.

On a better note: What browser does the download link actually download? IE7?
One must ask oneself: "do I will trolling to become a universal law?" And then when one realizes "yes, I do will it to be such," one feels completely justified.

At least they got it right, IE7 is blatantly copying firefox.

BTW, did any of you hear the fact that after the release of Firefox 2.0, Microsoft sent Mozilla a rather bleak looking congratulatory cake. I'll post a link to the article as soon as I can find where it was again...

Why didn't those bastards send Opera a cake after Opera 90.2 was released? :(

Yeah, god, businesses and hobbyist programmers should absolutely *never* use software ideas that the market has show to approve of or that have proven popular.   ::) ::) ::)

Guess you're trying to demonstrate that you're an idiot right off the starting line?

I'm not saying they shouldn't use successful ideas, I'm saying that they should add some creativity there so it doesn't appear to be quite a blatant copy.

Oh, you mean like putting the tabs on the bottom instead of the top?  There's only so much creativity you can put into a simple idea...
