Microsoft Moving Away from Browser Plugins

| That is ridiculous. Will Microsoft not include access to the web in
| the next version of Windows because it is a potential security risk?
| Microsoft has recently been hiding behind this whole, "we're putting
| all our energy into security" story. That may even be true, but it
| doesn't matter if they are going to skimp on features. Firefox's
| extension model is wonderful, yet when I wanted to build an Internet
| Explorer toolbar or extension, I have to go touring through the
| bowels of the MSDN site to find anything on it.

WINDOWS hasta la VISTA

| The problem came a few days later, Vista seemed to work but after a
| few Windows Updates and installing some company STANDARD software
| (Adobe Acrobat, a decent IM system (Jabber) , a decent browser
| (Firefox), a decent email client (Thunderbird)), the computers
| became almost unusable.

Some regulators should look into this.
