I feel sorry for voting this thing up, before investigating the links in the article.
- joe_the_user 17y agoOld news or not, I think that this kind of behavior deserves attention. Microsoft's behavior is a scary game of chicken. Even supposing MS's plugin didn't change Firefox for the worse this, does MS intend to modify the behavior of any and every application running on of windows with its routine updates? If so, this standard means they could subtly hamstring any app any time in the future. Makes competition is bit tough, you think?
- niels_olson 17y agoFirst I heard of it. Glad you voted it up.
