I know. Apple, too. Can't get more closed and locked-in (outside of Oracle).

It's give-and-take. At a butt-in-seat job, I'd turn up on time and leave on time - and that's the end of it. If during those hours I happen to be in an unproductive mindset (eg, un…

I said "most". They're a one-trick pony, mostly thanks to manipulation. And now this. Vulgar images, available directly from your start menu.

It's obviously failing miserably, like most other things they produce (or buy).

If you want to play the "think of the children" card, then let's start by discouraging development on Windows.

Not really. IE's "killer feature" was ActiveX. Which meant that any browser limitation could be worked around. But there was competition, that's why they made the original effort. …

If that where the case, FireFox would have overtook IE.

IE lost users because it was abysmal. And the reason for that was they wanted to keep people on the desktop. Who knows... if IE was already as good as early Chrome, perhaps there w…

Right. But there's a certain amount of irony that people are ditching Chrome, while still using an OS which literally does spy on you.

That didn't happen to me.
