Well, it's pretty simple really: get a better browser. A free one.

I have been using Firefox very happily for months, ever since the latest rash of IE security problems, and I've never looked back. Built-in pop-up blocking, tabbed browsing, right-click to block unwanted images, the list of superior features (in addition to being immume to so many of the exploits that plague MSIE) goes on and on.

In fact many of us do still use Win 98 and 2000. As more of us find better browsing alternatives (such those listed at browsehappy.com), we can laugh off M$'s latest attempts to herd us into buying a new OS. As the old saying goes, knowledge is power.

Microsoft's desperate attempt. That's what I call it. Bah.

Now where's that link to firefox's browsers and the steps to uninstall IE?

well, ms has to do this...

the technology that created ie has been patented by someone else, therefore ms has to discontinue it...

who uses 98/95 anymore anyway?

ms doesn't have to worry about any loss of business anyhow...

i just wonder what they'll call their new browser : )
