,----[ Quote ]
| What is particularly disturbing about Windows Defender's recent
| classification of the Alexa Toolbar is that you probably would not

The funny thing is that IE7 does exactly the same thing as Alexa Toolbar.

Just when I thought Microsoft was getting better...
,----[ Quote ]
| So my epiphany for the day is this, "$100 million dollars can buy a
| lot of innovation, but cannot change a culture that fundamentally
| is not geared towards respecting users." Google and Yahoo (despite
| stiff competition from everyone) seem to have the right balance of
| innovation and monetization (they are businesses after all), tempered
| with a healthy dose of competition. However, despite those drivers,
| they both seem to respect users first and foremost; I know this
| first hand from having worked with both. Microsoft, however, can't
| seem to shake its old habits.
