Google Releases Customized IE 7

Posted by Zonk on from the they-were-bored dept.

narramissic writes "Google has released a customized version of Internet Explorer 7 that uses Google as the default search engine and provides users with the Google Toolbar and a Google homepage they can personalize. Perhaps not exactly what Microsoft intended when they released the Internet Explorer Administration Kit, which allows developers to customize IE."

    Microsoft should do the needful, and change the license. All those fooling around with their browser (including Google) would be stopped in their tracks. Mission accomplished - period.

    As a hard-working college student, plagiarism really makes me sick. You know what else ticks me off?

    Not only that Google made their own IE, but...so did Yahoo!, but that never gets mentioned on Slashdot.

    And of course, the fact that Google's IE download page was a direct ripoff of Yahoo! also somehow doesn't seem be mentioned anywhere.

    Expect the usual: some update that breaks Google version, and an ever more bloated EULA on the next release.
