click "Manage search engines..." and then "Get more search engines".
And after “Get More Search Engines” you have to actually search for “Google” and then install something called “Google Search Suggestions,” whatever that means. It's definitely not a simple task to replace Bing in IE8.
In relation to tracking down contributors, is that even necessary? I'm not sure if it's the case with the kernel, but usually any GPL-ed application is accompanied by the text "This program is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify it under the terms of the GNU General Public License [...] either version 2 of the License, or any later version."
Admittedly, the GNU site says that the emphasized bit is optional, and I don't have a copy of the kernel source handy, so this is one big assumption.:-)
This is a decent question. I'm a web developer, and the only reason I use Windows is to make sure Internet Explorer renders things properly. Sure, IE7 is a gigantic step up, but it's still not to the point I can say "Well it works in Opera and Firefox, therefore it'll work in IE."
Unfortunately it's not looking too likely we'll see Wine being able to run Internet Explorer any time soon, thanks to the bundled Windows Genuine Advantage software. There's lots of implications in emulating a "genuine" Windows machine, so it will be interesting to see how this plays.
Thing is, I like using Linux to listen to my music. I also like playing MP3 CD compilations in my stereo. There's lots of other things I like doing that I think are reasonable, which DRM prevents.
If I wanted the latest tracks for free, I'd get them through Bittorrent or Gnutella. Hell, I sometimes do if I want to know whether an album's worth buying. The point is, if I then go and buy that album, I want to be able to do with it as I please.
There's always going to be a bootleg of some sort, so why punish the legitimate listeners?

Can someone set me straight?

I'm of this 99%.

But can you imagine the licensing fees for using Windows on this many processors? I bet it wouldn't be too cheap. :-D
