Just reading through the comments I've chosen not to read this article. The quotes alone convinced me this is not journalism. But, what should I expect from some no name blogge... what? Forbes. Crimeney.
Thats the root of the problem. I'd wager 90% of the functioanlity for browsers is only used by 5% of end users. Granted a lot of stuff is demanded by web develoeprs who want fancy this, animated that, and sliding and fading the other, but to be honest, most of us dont need any of that junk.
As end users, how much of browser bloat do we really need?
Jeez, You make it sound like an office suite.
If you factor in extensions, plug-ins, themes, etc. You may have a point. Not a good one, due to the fact that the 5% is different for everyone, but it is a point of some sort.
Ever thought of using Lynx?
Back in my day we had to type what we wanted to happen, none of this mouse clicking, multitabbed, drop shadowing, translucent menuing fluff.
Let see here, let me get my glasses and tinfoil hat out.

I have to say that does seem pretty far from evil. Why do I even keep this hat anyway?
I'm not saying Heroes is a unique and beautiful flower. I haven't seen it, and maybe all it does have going for it is its x-menness, but I refuse to evaluate fiction on the sole basis that it is "like" something else. IMHO, it stands on its own merits, or it falls on its own flaws. Anything else just seems like being dishonest and unfair to the creative folks that put the fiction together.
Agreed, if I had em, I'd mod you up. Watch the show and judge it on its own merits. (Disclaimer: I have yet to see it, it could suck and be a shameless rip-off)
I play many a game, When reccomending to my kids, Too many times I hear things like "Tremulous is a Natural Selection Rip-Off" from someone who hasn't even played the game. Almost all open source games are derivatives. Hell even if it is derivative that does not automatically decrease its quality. For example, Ipods are derivative of the Walkman. AMDs and Intelx86, etc...
Games were much more satisfying before the popularity explosion of guides and cheats =/
PC Infocom games is as about as far back as you can go and Strategy Guides were popular back then too.
NES, Genesis, SNES etc.....
Never used them, although I have distinct memories of passing hand made penciled/erased maps around for Planetfall.
First of all, Window's working at Microsoft. This is too much.
Second Mozilla nabs her. Ironic No. Microsft's Window jumps ship to Firefox.......(of all the headlines we mangle here this one's begging for it.)
The comedic possibilities are overwhelming. But here is the strangest one. Mozilla supplies her with 3 workstations. For compatability reasons she's gonnan need a Mac, a Linux, and a Windows box.
....
wait for it.
But now they are all window's machines. Gasp, This woman is dangerous and must be stopped.
In all seriousness, If she had anything to do with the sp2 patches, she is my new personal hero.
Welcome to the light. Don't be afraid. No, no, we promise, it's definately not open sores, I don't care what those dicks in the cafeteria said. O.K maybe not in all seriousness.
Now, this is something I do not get: are Linus, Richard Stallman some kind of Gods ?
I prefer to use the term Gnods.
And No they aren't. They are incredibly bright, well educated programmers. They are leaders of very important software projects. RMS is also the founder of FSF. Creator of GPL, Head of the Church of Emacs, and several other things. I've heard both of them described as assholes, but I tend to think they are both not.
When they speak Concerning GPL issues or Linux , like EF hutton, people listen. Why? because they are the deciders (sorry George.)
Personalities and idiosyncrasies aside, they deserve respect for the work done and words written up until now. Nothing either of them has said/wrote has caused me to to lose any of that respect for them.
The fact that you asked this question astounds me. Maybe you are new here. If so please google RMS FSF and Linus, get back to me in 6 months and let me know if I can help you further.

If you have to ask this question, then you obviously belong at Microsoft.
