Well, yeah, obviously. And the trojan is still doing damage. Which is why I can't take astroturfing douchebag shills like snprbob86 et al and their promises of a happy happy fun fun friendly new MS seriously. A leopard can't change its spots. And until I see IE change - MS is the worst company in tech and everyone who works for them is culpable. Gee, can you feel the love in my comments? Hehe
Please don't call commenters on HN "douchebags".
Paid shills are douchebags and I am utterly unrepentant in saying that. Just because someone has an account here doesn't transform them into a paragon of integrity and virtue. You work for the bad guys, you take the criticism, that's how it works. Or are you suggesting there should be no social penalty whatsoever for contributing to the crippling of the WWW? How much damage have they done? How much is 5 years of progress worth?
I will never tone down my attacks on these pricks. It's my honest opinion and I'm going to say it. I feel no need to maintain a "professional" demeanour or keep up appearances. I hate those motherfuckers, and I want them to know it.
