Oh, you mean like the anti-Microsoft crowd does? puhleeeeze!
Question: why are you celebrating 50,000,000 downloads? Do you have stock or a personal interest in it?
For one reason because we like choice in the market place, we like products to play off of, pressure, and push eachother to change and improve. MS is finally doing some house cleaning on ie only because they are seing market share evaporate at an alarming rate to firefox.
I was thrilled when MS entered the browser market back in the day netscape had had it too easy and were not longer innovating at the rate they were capable, ms fellinto the same trap..
