lol.. yep. Reminds me of a game I used to play online, which was VERY popular while it was free, then died a sudden death as soon as they began to charge for it.

I think the IRS would be interested as well, since they are a non-profit company.

Well, Internet Explorer is free software as well.

It'd be interesting to see if Microsoft can and will up the ante here. It's pretty surprising that they still haven't added tabbed browsing as a built-in feature. It's one of the biggest draws of browsers like Opera and Mozilla/Firefox. I suppose they got a bit complacent after their victory over Netscape.
