I can see how having a default browser would hinder other browser companies.. but how does Microsoft make money with IE? Do you need a business license for it if you use it in the workplace? Or do they have paid support?
They don't directly make money from it. It's all about market share!Quote:

Thats a great news. I think the Microsoft should buy the Firefox and let them to design browsers for the windows OS. I hope there will be a update for the current users so maybe firefox can run at the start up just like ie which whould make the firefox run faster at the first run.
That would be the day firefox dies...Quote:

Not that I'm standing up for the IE browser. It's crap and everyone knows it. That doesn't mean microsoft shouldn't be allowed to include it though.

I'm pretty sure he meant that Firefox would die because MS would ruin it.Quote:

Not a big deal for us users who know our way around.
I think it is good to give people a choice. If they want people to use IE they will have to step it up now.
finally , it's like they admit that IE8 isn't perfect and full of garbage...
OPERA ALL THE WAY >>>>>
