Microsoft still doesn't get it; while people do want new features, first and foremost they want something that works day in and day out. And if it doesn't work, they want it FIXED. Not another version which has a new set of problems and requires more hardware to run.

ROTFLMAO. Firefox is making huge gains in the browser war because Microsoft has refused to allow XP users to use the latest IE version. Microsoft claims that without the "latest technology" their browser cannot be as good as it needs to be. Of course MS is trying to sell Windows 7 into the XP crowd. Notice FireFox works just fine with the XP crowd. >which poses the question, "Which side of the technology divide are you on?" Uhh.. the Firefox side. ;) I pretty much have no use for IE unless I hit a site that I absolutely have to use and that site refuses to work with Firefox. And guess what, with Firefox winning the browser war, more and more sites are dropping their "IE only" crapola. John W.
