"I'm glad I'm not the only one who had this idea."

I had this idea before. It is a good one. In short, an ActiveX control that fixes IE. I don't know how plausible it is tho.

"Who trusts ActiveX nowadays?"

Pay attention! Everybody clicks "Yes!" Except smart people, who are a small minority. Smart people are irrelevant anyway. We're talking about IE users.

Boycotting IE is like boycotting glass chewing, or boycotting smashing your toe in a door. It is redundant.

On: Just what has Microsoft been doing for IE 7?

"How about publishing Windows without a browser and allowing OEMs to choose what browser to bundle?" How would that help maintain Microsoft's monopoly? "... I think that if Microsoft is barred from any reprisals ..." Why would Microsoft tell their politicians to do that?
