True, but show a bunch of Joe Users a desktop that only has icons for Netscape and Winamp and I bet many users, if not most of them, will go to those icons each time. "Hmm. Need web, click web icon..." I can't imagine they would go hunting for IE or WMP.
I'll start with the usual, "why does this surprise anyone?"
I predict stories like this will continue to flood/. until the October release of XP (Newsflash: all links to "Emeril live" redirect to "Cooking with Ballmer!".) Seems to me that MS is peppering its software with these "features" in the hopes that no one will notice until it's too late. And if someone does notice, they remove it/mitigate it.
I thought we all knew their corporate slogan was "Just Do it (until you get caught)." .f
