Where is the HTML spec does is say the user agent is nothing but a dumb display? Where does it say that the user agent may not fold, spindle, or mutilate a document in any way it sees fit? Where does it say a user agent may not insert "extra" links if it so wishes?
I'm reminded of the scene in "Instinct," where Anthony Hopkins roughs up Cuba Gooding Jr. "What have I taken from you?" Hopkins asks. "I haven't taken control from you, because you never had it. All I've taken is your illusions."
You have no control over your users' browsers. Get over it.
If you want to complain about something, complain about the fact that "Smart Links" are all hard-coded to point to MS properties, and the fact that the user cannot change that. That is the kind of monopolistic, abusive practices that make me hate MS.
Now we just have to get the mac users to give it up
Most of us already have, I think. I work in an all-Mac shop, and aside from testing our web-based products against Nauseator, no one I know of uses it.
I have had very limited luck with my two Pinnacle Optical Drives. Linux sees them just fine, but cannot change disks or flip the disks over to write onto the other side. The disk changing I can do from the drive itself, but flipping them over is software only. I got mine for free though, and wouldn't advise buying them for a Linux only enviroment.

What's needed is something more like PBS, but online
