Well let’s see how well this plays with compliance with their antitrust agreement. This is simply Microsoft’s well lets call it very late Trusted Computing first give your browser away for free then make it apart of your OS. Leave it full of holes update your OS leave your 1996 browser updates aside and then say trust us upgrade to XP or pay $99.00. Sorry this event today at work went over like ok this is a serious impact to this business as in under 100 employees. This has got to be a Marketing lame approach. Was their OS simply designed from the start to drive demand to purchase an upgrade to their product?

Well answer is yes this latest marketing ploy proves it. As I understand it, you buy the upgrade to XP or pay $99.00 for an older OS either way your out of money either personally or as a business just to keep a “Web Browser” secure?

This and to the partners of whom I work for is a no brain needed for thought ,|,, Bill
