Well Scott,..maybe I dinged you a little unfairly. But its difficult to respond productively to a non sequitur like:

"Its weird hearing the hypocrisy of this. If you remember when Sun released Solaris a while back, they took the C++ compiler out of the standard install kit. People were howling, what kind of Unix machine ships without a compiler? Even nowadays people grumble. No one but technoweenies care what makes up an OS."

From this statement you infer somehow that integrating IE into Windows and calling it part of the OS is ok. And since we obviously care what makes up an OS (otherwise we wouldn't be talking about it) it makes us technoweenies (and our government too).

Since you steamed the first weenie its somewhat disingenuous of you to complain when the weenie bites you.
