MS asked to define "remove" news.com

Again, more for amusement than real news.

"When you click on Internet Explorer in the add/remove utility, the dialog box says this will remove Internet Explorer. What do you think the user is thinking?" Malone asked Cole.

Cole responded: "Can't speculate."

Malone shot back: "Microsoft is telling the user that the add/remove utility will remove Internet Explorer, right?"

Cole replied: "We used a very generic term to describe the process."


Ah, Microsoftese, isn't it great? Orwell would be proud. Of course, the exact nature of the Roach Motel California of browsers was a "known issue" of sorts today.

Cheers, Dan.
