Microsoft was cool to begin with??

[Warrior]

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

On a better note: What browser does the download link actually download? IE7?

[Joe]

Yeah, IE7.

[Miamiandy]

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? :(

[Miamiandy]

I dunno. But I found the link.

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?

[Miamiandy]

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.

[Chavo]

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...
