Re: They are finished
Ok, let's take something good (Firefox), and add on the worst features of IE (ActiveX) and then bugger it up as only AOL can and release it.
Just use Firefox, and IE for sites that need it (Windows Update). Problem solved.

| The problem is that MOST of the market is still about name rather than performance. Far too many people still LOVE AOL, and couldn't name the different browser options to save their lives. Whats that, AOL has their own browser? Well then that must be the best one for me.......
And that is fine with me. I like Active X. I like web exploits. I like security holes.

| This is o true. Most people don't know that there are other browsers besides IE, just the way Microsoft wants it.
Shoot, my mom doesn't even know it's called Interent Explorer. She says things like "I clicked on the Internet icon, but it took me too SmartSearch instead." |

She says things like "I clicked on the Internet icon, but it took me too SmartSearch instead." Most people don't care that there are other browsers. All they want to do is turn on their pc, get connected to the internet, check e-mail, maybe chat and do some suffering. How it's done is of little concern. It's the same attitude they have at work. I know too many people that only care about doing what they need to with their computer and not how what works. And these are the people you'll never change. And they probably barely know who or what Microsoft is. |
