I dunno. I was refering to the argument of whether or not microsoft took stuff from firefox etc. which changed to which is better etc. I'll just stop arguing.

Just as an aside, being not really relevant to the argument logically, but I find it humorous that you seem to be so anti-Microsoft-web-product yet you're using Frontpage to make your website....
I have a programming folder, and I have nothing of value there

Running with Code has a new home!

Our species really annoys me.

True, I am a bit lazy. Didn't feel like making the site from scratch. The site is just for one purpose anyway. It was recommended that I make one by a counselor to help me get into college.

I'm sure there are superior open source products, though. ::)

I thought they were inferior, not just expensive. :P

I'm joking around with you, but I seriously don't understand what you're trying to prove...

I think you need to just give IE7 a chance. Don't think of it as "Copying" so much as evolution.

I congratulate Microsoft on IE7 yet I still have emailed and left comments telling them it isn't enough. It's good their taking a positive role in keeping the browser secure but they need to stop thinking they set standards and start following the already made ones.

Things like: IE7 not having a download manager, (default)inline searching, and have a counter intuitive interface is something that makes Microsoft look bad. Really, a company with resources considerably less than Microsoft seems to include all of this, why can't Microsoft?

I feel better now atleast that a majority of people will soon be rid of IE6.

One last thing, look at the top right corner of firefox. They have the search bar. They promote searching other places. Microsoft only promotes searching MSN/Live.

Odd, I use Google as my search bar provider in IE7. Maybe it's just you?

I meant that firefox has many companies that allow it to have an all in one search bar.

I'm sure that there's a toolbar for IE that has similar functionality... who cares?
