AOL Builds New IE-Based Browser

Posted by michael on from the mozilla-deemed-harmful dept.

jfruhlinger writes "According to News.com.com.com, America Online is preparing to release a free AOL-branded browser that is 'based on Microsoft's Internet Explorer technology.' The browser will be available to users who don't have AOL as their ISP. I admit that I find this development baffling -- not only does AOL already own a browser, but why on earth would a non-AOL user want to use an AOL-branded version of IE?"

    I don't really believe any more that it would work better with Linux without my putting in hundreds of hours of study. Who's going to pay me for that? You?

    You are obviously retarded. The linux community already has enough retards bringing it down, we don't need any more. You will never be able to use Linux to work with eBay. Don't even bother trying. Install Windows XP Pro, label yourself a power user, and stay the fuck away from Linux.
