MS Issued a Fix For Its Unwanted FireFox Extension

As we discussed last February, and again a few days ago after the Washington Post noticed, Microsoft installed without permission a hard-to-remove Firefox extension along with a service pack for .NET Framework 3.5.

    that the only reason I have Slashdot on my RSS is for the witty comments only? I used to actually read the article but now, I don't even bother looking at the headline.

    If it's wrong, I don't want to be right!

    Not quite, the majority of the people here not only don't read the article, they don't bother to read the summary they are responding to. Some don't even read the comments when they reply.

    They are not!

    All out assault on Microsoft is fair game. ( aside from pure slandering)

    Micro$oft kicks puppies, hurts kittens, lies to children, poisions wells, and funds the Church of $cientology. All Facts.

    You should be modded down. The proper term is "neck beard," not "chin beard," newfag.

    You must be new here. The majority of people here on Slashdot are meme scripts.
