    Unfair business practices are ridiculous lawsuits. It's Microsofts code and software... they should have the freedom to with it as they like.

    Freedom isn't just for you. Microsoft should have the freedom to do what they want with their software, plain and simple. How would you like it if someone sued Debian and said they couldn't include apt because it's unfair to other package managers?

    What the hell is IE doing in gnome? That has to be a form of desecration.

    The Supreme Court that consists of nine 70~ year old men and women that have about as much computer experience as my grandfather? Or is that the Supreme Court that just ruled that the government can take any private property and replace it with a strip mall if it wants? Both? Okay. I don't know how THEY could be wrong.

    Also, does Windows have code in the kernel like Linux that reads /* Does this go here? */ ?

    IE7 has full support for PNGs because it was a very popular request. Again, Microsoft won't support any of the new CSS (2.1 and 3.0) recommendations because they're not finalized. CSS 2.0 is, but its full of errata, thus CSS 2.1. If the W3C would get their act together you'd see more support in Internet Explorer.

    Opera has had that for years and predates firefox.
    Opera also has integrated RSS

    But that's okay, submitter. Opera is commrecial and not open source. ;)
