Microsoft Launches New "Get the Facts" Campaign

ko9 writes that Microsoft has re-launched its "'Get the facts' campaign, in an attempt to promote Internet Explorer 8. It contains a chart that compares IE8 to Firefox and Chrome. Needless to say, IE8 comes out as the clear winner, with MS suggesting it is the only browser to provide features like 'privacy,' 'security,' 'reliability.' It even claims to have Firefox beat in 'customizability.'"

Re:I got the facts ...

i agree mostly but these two i would like to counter:

Like the Accelerators - I don't even want them. It's Clippy all over again!

a non-issue, since at install time it asks you if you want them or not. the default is 'not selected'.

And finally - they aren't comparing with Opera. Probably because they won't dare to do it!

no, more probably it is because no one uses opera.
and however bad ie8 is, it's still loads better than safari.
