1. Comment - Longhorn Eyed for Antitrust Violations

   Actually, stop suing them and the cost will probably double. Especially as their monopolistic grip (oops, they aren't a monopoly, we have hundreds of different operating systems we can choose from, all software works perfectly with all operating systems and all hardware made works perfectly with all operating systems right? so how can they be a monopoly)grows and choices diminish. And, as a bonus, the stuff won't work right until you install at least 2 patches over the next 4 years. If they would make a better product at a fair price and would stop trying to squash competition through oppresive licensing schemes they wouldn't have this problem in the first place. Just my opinion of course.

2. Comment - Firefox Passes 20 Million Downloads

   Have you done research on "some" of the complaints about IE and it's bugs/security issues over the years? do you really want to get into comparisons about software complaints? (Blue Screen of Death ring a bell to anyone?)No software is perfect, never will be as long as it is written by humans but forums like mozillazine are there to help the community fix problems quickly instead of waiting 3 years for a patch to fix hundreds of bugs at once. So perfect FF isn't.... Better then IE, without question to anyone that really cares about competition and choice and isn't myopically connected to Bill Gates teet....

   Just curious.... How much did all that extra software cost? ie Maxthon, spybot etc. (unless you pirated it for free)to get the protection I get for free (without pirating anything).

   Roj, I have been a windows/linux dual boot person since 1998. when I first started I used windows about 90% of the time but in the last year or two that figure has switched. I still have XP on my machine and use it every once in awhile. You don't have to like Linux or Firefox but unless you have used it non stop for at least a month, which you obviously haven't done, and have installed some of the best features like mouse gestures and tabbed browsing then you come off sounding like an M$ mole. I switched my 76 year old mother over to firefox 1.0 after rebuilding her machine because she had hundreds of spyware componants on it from useing Internet Exploder (fraudian slip) and torched her system. she has been happily surfing, virus and spyware free ever since. I switched my mother in law to linux and firefox after her system was destroyed by a virus 2 years ago and she has been happily surfing virus and spyware free ever since. Even when I am in XP I use Firefox and Thunderbird and I have zero spyware and zero viruses on my system. So let me see do I want an expensive broken browser and email system that can allow any hacker on a whim to trash my system or use it to trash everyone in my address books systems or do I want a FREE browser and email system that isn't broke and won't allow that?? Hummmmmmm....
