MS To Slip IE8 Into Vista and XP Through OEMs

Posted by kdawson on from the for-our-own-good dept.

crazyeyes writes "Microsoft says it's 'optional,' but they are already planning to slip Internet Explorer 8 into all Windows Vista/XP PCs by March. MS claims that IE8 will offer better performance and security. But what about unwanted stuff like 'Monetization opportunities (for OEMs)' and 'These services will be used (by OEMs) to deliver brand exposure... to the users'?"

    Sometimes people act like the Microsoft bashing is simple knee-jerk or personal dislike. I'm jealous of the strain of ignorance that allows this belief to continue.

    It's not ignorance - it's disagreement with your personal opinion. Sorry that we don't all think the way you do. It's a big world, that's gonna happen.

    Just as I'm happy to let you continue on with your masturbation, you'll have to be happy with me pointing at it and laughing.
