No wonder Internet Explorer sucked balls: it was a friggin’ corporate weapon!
It’s a frightening thing to hear a CEO of a major company admit to using a tactic like “destroying Netscape.” And, seeing as how most internet browsers are free to download, and have been for years, their goal was purely childish. Like kicking down your little sister’s sandcastle.
More power to Mozilla, though. Impregnable pop-up blocker already installed, easy interface… Not a virus-dispensing crackwhore like IE.
Wewtz.

If only. Being the family/friend geek would be much easier if I didn’t have to actually convince people that using IE is bad. We can dream, though.
