    If you don't like this plug-in, don't install .Net. It's part of that package.

    If you don't like .NET Framework. don't install recent versions of Windows. It's part of that package.

    If you don't like recent versions of Windows, don't buy a national-brand PC. It's part of that package.

    "Microsoft releases a couple of Firefox plug-ins."

    You have a funny definition of 'released'. I was never asked if I wanted it installed and there was no simple option to uninstall.

    Sounds like MS is taking a page from the malware playbook.
