anyone have the installer for 1.5? i don't like the new one.
i thought this post was a joke.... shizer, that sucks.
they're going to load it up with plug-ins and puts tons of autodetect crap and make it IE with another logo.

I'd ahve to see the report on a credible news site before I believed it. Microsoft wouldn't do that after the last browser wars resulted in an anti-trust lawsuit against them. they are not going to go down that path again

they're just making fun of IE and MS.
The new IE is a rip off of firfox... that's all they are trying to say... and that MS provides bloated software.
they have had no innovation with their internet browser.

if you're goal is to make money, you can't 'sell out' by selling your company.
