In exactly the same way that a `giant IT company' (now you must see Dr. Evil fingerquoting `giant laser') did when hardcoding IE into it's supercalifragilisticexpialidocius (again Dr. Evil) `operating system'. Just because Google use the force, err the open source, doesn't make it Luke Skywalker. As a matter of fact, IMHO Google slowly become a replacement for the `giant laser'. > > > 2.

In fact, figures shows that Firefox kept it's market share for the last 6 months, while IE lost 1 percent each month for Chrome. So to speak, Chrome users seems to be former MS users that just realized they could brake out their M$ jail. And yes, this made them geeks. Sort of. :) And oh, IE is still used by much more than 70 millions users. That doesn't make it a rock solid browser. > > > I would guess that both of these assertions are false. > > In any case you haven't given any reason for either. > > And you hold the key of ultimate truth? ;) No, but you seems to hold this key, as you already proposed to remove any other browser, but Chromium. > > None of us is right, and we can't know what is truth or false without > some strong discussion. > > -- > pratite me na twitteru - www.twitter.com/valentt > blog: http://kernelreloaded.blog385.com > linux, anime, spirituality, windsurf, wireless, ronjenje, pametne kuće, zwave > registered as user #367004 with the Linux Counter, http://counter.li.org. > ICQ: 2125241, Skype: valent.turkovic, MSN: valent.turko...@hotmail.com -- Calin Key fingerprint = 37B8 0DA5 9B2A 8554 FB2B 4145 5DC1 15DD A3EF E857 ================================================= Thus spake the master programmer: "Time for you to leave." -- Geoffrey James, "The Tao of Programming"
