scienceaddiction.com — MSN adcenter actively blocks potential advertisers that do not use IE and asks them to buy XP! "the company?s IE-centric view of its business is hurting younger divisions of the company that have a chance of becoming a major force as the company"

I agree. This case is really extreme,; I think this is one of the first times they have directly harmed one division of their company in order to prop up IE. In the past, most behavior of this kind has had indirect detrimental effects.

Microsoft wants to control the way people view the Internet! Literally! Don't let it continue! Use an open-source alternative, although I must say Opera is an excellent browser.

No, you actually have no reason to trust me at all. Just try everything I say in my article for yourself- the links, the details and the screenshots are all there.

I can't leave feedback because it complains my browser and platform "aren't supported".From day 1 in the early 80's, microsoft's slogan should be "DESIGNED TO SELL, NOT TO WORK". To the post above, you've got it damn right when you say, The. World. Has. f**king. Had. It. With. Microsoft.Most users of the internet think it was invented by microsoft... i wonder how many people realize the internet was fine until bill gate$ decided to start "owning" it.
