slightly off-topic...
i like firefox but there are plenty of other IE-based alternatives that add on pop-up blockers, security features, etc. i use avant browser, and maxthon is excellent as well. i understand why people love firefox (it is an excellent browser, though i found it pretty lacking before 1.0 was released) but i don't understand why people are acting like it's the first alternative ever.
anyway, microsoft seems to me to have been taking some pretty decent steps in the right direction recently. i see a lot of linux people mocking their new focus on security, but those same people were mocking their lack of focus on the same before these announcements came, so whatever. fact of the matter is that 90% of people use windows, and whatever microsoft can do to make windows a better product is all right with me.
