The company I work for was blacklisted for having an open relay mail server (which we don't) because one of our customers was pissed off at our pricing or something. Took a lot of work to get our server off the list, even though it was not an open relay.
I'm not defending M$ is anyway, but part of the problem in selecting a web browser is all the developers using M$ tools like FrontPage and scripts that only work on IE.

People will either complain about it being too loose, too tight, too leafy, too lumpy... But hey, give them a break, after all they're new to this security thing.
I practice safe sex all the time, heck, most of the time there isn't even someone in the room with me.
Just kidding... everytime there isn't someone in the room.

I can only imagine what the hackers did to www.bush.com

Some of them have already ran for President!
I was hoping they'd be a bit bigger, and holding something sharp and pointy, they kinda look like really expensive Rock'em Sock'em Robots(tm).

Okay, so now that 'internet' is not capitalized, can we work on educating people to stop asking 'what version of the internet are you using?'
