1. Comment - Microsoft updates its controversial Firefox plug-in for .NET 3.5

   (Jun 27, 2009 - 6:26 PM)

   I so loathe Microsoft to the point where despite learning of its Firefox Net Framework Assistant's unauthorized installation I didn't act until seeing several methods at removing it as featured in your article.
   
   As I am not that familiar with registry issues I chose the other two methods and despite having tried each one at least six times, the Net Frameork Assistant remains intractably uninstalled.
   not in the least bit surprised

2. Comment - Uptake on IE8 slows to a crawl

   (Mar 24, 2009 - 10:11 AM)

   I can't think of a single case in all the innumerable product launches, markets Microsoft has entered, any instance where it has merited preference, consideration based on engineering prowess, technological superiority alone. Microsoft's overall record in endeavors outside of its core business is dismal. IE enjoys predominance among browsers only as vestige of the predatorial, take-no-prisoners instinct of the bygone Bill Gates era.
   
   The fact is,there's nothing Microsoft could possibly do to stanch the hemorrhaging of IE's market share because in a marketplace of genuine competition, in an arena where only the quality of the products, services you promote determines your success, Microsoft will always be an also-ran.

   I'm not at all surprised. I've had the worst user experiences with Real Player
   and haven't missed it at all since uninstalling it a long time ago.
