Have you ever known Microsoft to give away control over something as major as a Web browser... not to mention, but to one of its greatest competitors?
The overwhelming dominance of a single browser caused big problems on its own. We need healthy competition in this technology marketplace.
- ggordan 16y agoI agree, it will never happen. What are they giving away to it's competitors though? Webkit it open source. They would still have IE.
