Microsoft IE8 rolls out the astroturf

Brian Dines

Not entirely accurate

If you read some of the interviews from MS staff, what they said was that they hope some users who use other browsers will start ising Internet Explorer but don't expect that to happen.

Anwyay, if you look at the browser statistics you'll probably find that of the '32%' of users not using IE, a large portion, maybe say 1/2 of that, are non-windows users too.

Opera sings praises of Microsoft-browser statement

Have they really thought about this

Ok, microsoft removes the browser so that windows comes without any browser out of the box...how do you download a browser if you don't have a browser to get to the website with browsers for download???

They really haven't thought this through, have they?
