I don't get it. Every browser has a home page. All you have to do is shut off your internet and you can change a bad home page without opening it. (You might have to clear your cache first though.)

What you don't realize is every new computer rolling off
the countless assembly lines. Has MSN website as the
default. Only .01% of users of computers these days
know enough about using them. Let alone using them
correctly. If it wasn't for the other 99.99% I would
not be in the nice side business of fixing microsofts
dumb marketing decisions.

Yes, the homepage default of MSN.COM is a marketing driven
decision. What better way to get eyes on your website
than to make the default page be yours.

Look at how many people ask for help. In fixing there hijacked
browsers. HIJACKTHIS, would not exsist if the browser
default was hard to change, from your preferred setting.
