You're kidding me right...are you honestly telling me that Microsoft is only doing this out of the goodness of their heart because they want to improve the security experience of their clients ?

And it's not about money ?

They already admitted that they are losing ( as in people are not upgrading in the abundance they expected ) money on upgrades and that is the reason they are forcing the upgrades.

You may be very well right about the kernels...but are you telling me that there is no way that Microsoft could've came out with a version of IE 7 applicable to any of their other systems...it just wasn't possible...completely out of the question...they tried...tried everything to make a secure browser for all their clients...and they just couldn't do it...everyone is just going to have to upgrade...geeee...that's what we wanted all along ?

It's all about money ! It's always about the money !
