This was done in both a spirit of cooperation and for the good of the internet as a whole. As the ubiquitous browser that is utilized to access the internet, we all depend on IE too much to have crooks, social deviants, malcontents and crackers from messing with our lifestyles and our livelihoods. ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!'"

Wow, great! The internet as a whole thanks you! by vistic · 2003-10-12 10:34 · Score: 2, Funny

How fortunate this is for the internet community! Imagine if IE were open source like this Mozilla thing! Keeping every working detail and possible vulnerability all very hush-hush is what makes IE the great browser that it is! How does Mozilla survive? I mean, come on... Bugzilla? They should follow these guys example and shut down.

For the good of the internet as a whole!

Now that's gotta be the most fitting description of Microsoft that i've ever heard!
