Open source is communist? Please remember to point that out to the owner of Free Republic. And, yes, cloed minded. You're trashing something you've never even used. I'm trashing a product (IE) that I've used since its release.
and defining yourself by how much anti-Microsoft hate you can generate per day like you is what makes you a screwed up conspiracy theory nut case.
Unlike you, I use those products I'm talking about every single day. My daily work is .NET, Visual Studio, Windows Server 2003 (with IIS 6), SQL Server 2000, IE, and other Microsoft software. When I say I hate designing for IE for a specific reason, it's because I have designed for it and encountered its problems, not because I thought something was "commie" and refused to use it.
