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. Reader Pigskin-Referee lets us know that, as it turns out, Microsoft issued a fix a month ago; details here.

Is it too much to ask that if you have issues with MS that you bring up the legitimate issues and leave the BS alone?

It's bad because the entire philosophy behind Firefox addons is freedom of choice. How hard would it have been for Microsoft to prompt the user whether they want this thing or not ?

In simpler words: My computer, my decision.
