Hmmm …

Whoooah …

Now what are you supposed to do about that … ?

I’ve just been browsing through the BBC’s science pages, and found that — as a result of an EU Monopolies ruling — Microsoft are planning to not include the latest version of Internet Explorer with version 7 of Windoze; you can read it here.

It does seem a little silly …

On the other hand …

From what I understand, usually you need a web browser to surf the Web; which Safari does well enough for me, although I know that there’s other browsers available. Which I think was the relevant EU commission’s point.

That Microsoft should be offering a choice.

Rather than none at all.

Post a Comment

I love it when people comment. But, having had anonymous comments I feel may be libellous, actionable or just plain offensive, over the years?

I’d appreciate you* leaving your name — with a link to your website or social-media profile†, for preference — before you post a comment.

Should you choose to use a pseudonym/name, I’d appreciate it if that name were to be polite and inoffensive. I’d rather you kept it clean, and relatively adult. Comments left with a pseudonym will be posted at my discretion: I really prefer a link.

Contentious, actionable or abusive posts left anonymously will not be posted. Nor will comments using offensive pseudonyms or language, or that are abusive of other commenters.

If you can also leave you comments on today’s Teaser Video, that would be good.

Thank you.

*   I know many value their online privacy. I respect that. But hope you respect my wish to see who’s commenting on my blog: and my wish for you to introduce your self to me, and to your fellow commentors.
