Some of the comments are fun.

I smell a well deserved lawsuit...

ohh and just an addendum it appears msn broke hotmail again for
Firefox I have not been able to get into it all day with firefox but
ie8 works fine...

Are you ready for Linux yet?

This sort of crap is why I loath Microsoft and why I am trying to move
everyone I know to Apple or Linux....

...MS fails to understand (legal) boundary of where their rights end
and ours begin. I saw this trend in few “gafs” they made in Summer/
Fall of 2007 and since that time I consider MS updates greater
security risk than the malware infesting their products....

If they did it they are asking for a truly ugly lawsuit by firefox and
others. You don’t mess with another company’s software unless you are
insane and that goes double if you bleep it up!....Should cost them a
few $100,000,000 I hope.

Hmm,
why would MS make an OS that deviates from standard architecture??
WHY would MS make a browser, that has HOLES/BACKDOORS/ALLOWS anyone to
install stuff/GIVES admin RIGHTS which you cant turn off, unless you
cripple IE..
THEn STEALS software to protect the system(anti virus/anti bot) and
cripples it, so it cant protect the system from ALL that IE does..

Microsoft:
We can’t make our browser secure so we will poke holes in our main
competitor that you can’t close, now open your wallet for our vacuum.
