I just read this article in the new XP browswer. It is a very
annoying feature, and as I read further about the feature, I
became rather scared, yes. The author is absolutely correct, there
will now be this competition to be "blessed" by m$, and people will
start paying big money for this to happen.
The only word highlighted in the entire article was "microsoft".
And the annoying purple squiggles appear regardless of your link
setting--mine is set to underline only on "hover".
I don't like the idea of a web where m$ choses to ammend websites
I visit. I like it even less that m$ is setting itself up as an
authority on what we need to know.
Thank you for posting this link...I had no idea what this annoying
feature was. At least now I know I can turn it off!
