Boy if ever there was a case of getting ones' panties tied in a knot over something totally insignificant. If Microsoft wants to blow off all those people for MSN, they hardly have a monopoly in Internet portals, let them do it. I'd be much more concerned if it were flipped the other way, if for some reason MSIE didn't work with Yahoo or Google, ie a site that has some value. (I hope I'm not giving them any ideas! ;->) I never go to MSN. I don't like it. It's impossible to read. It's written for people with a fourth grade education. It's Microsoft content. It's yucky. BTW, you want something to get riled up over -- remember Smart Tags. They're coming back for sure. http://www.scripting.com/images/2001/10/25/billGatesWarOnTerror.jpg War on Terror!
