Well, Google News tracks which news articles you go to, too..... their links look like:
http://news.google.com/url?ntc=0Md&q=http://www.in dystar.com/
I really don't have a problem with their using moreover.com. It looks like MSN just outsourced some of the work to another company. Whats the problem with that?
And in addition.... if they're going to the trouble of making a free product to distribute news like that, I really don't mind if they track which articles are loaded.
This really isn't a troll/funny question, IMO, as I briefly wondered this myself. Version 4 of Windows Update explicitly locks out non-IE browsers with a message stating that IE is requried.
Version 5, however, seems to load fine (albeit ugly), except for the fact it just displays a "Checking for the latest version of the Windows Update Software..." message and nothing else. It does not seem to actually say that ActiveX or IE is required.
That being said, the answer is yes, it is still IE-only, since the software uses ActiveX.
