F Microsoft. They are second only to the Chinese when it comes to stealing ideas and intellectual property. The only difference is most of the stuff the chinese steal, they can make it work (most of the time). |

I wouldn't call it spyware. MS was smart enough to use their Bing toolbar to help improve their searches. I am 100% ok with this. Google is pissed because they didn't patent this. I am sure MS was doing it to Yahoo and every other search engine out there. |

I see nothing wrong with this, Microsoft using their customers' search data to improve their experience.
As if using Google Chrome doesn't ensure you are targeted with ads related to what you've been browsing when you use their search engine. I'd bet money that a bing search in Google Chrome feeds data to Google, hell every thing you do in Chrome feeds data to Google. |

Bing is Microsoft's what, fourth, attempt to build a search engine?
Clearly their approach is flawed. Bing sucks ass. Nobody uses it except complete newbs who don't know how to change the default home page. Google does better searching Microsoft's web sites than Microsoft. |

This is stupid. Its no different that when I used google to search for "Firestone" when I was looking to buy tires, and they for the next month every ad on every page I visited was for Firestone. Everybody is just getting all butt hurt because MS is using their browser in conjunction with their search engine.

Sowwy.  But the Dell you resurrected for me was three laptops ago. This one was 3 weeks old when it got some nasty virus that stomped Mc Afee (that came with the Dell) so I had to uninstall it and I bought AVG8, after which I got kicked of IE about every 30 minutes or so religiously. One night, after a few shots of Beam it started it's bullshit and I came unglued and put my fist through the screen - which was completely and utterly childish, juvenile, even infantile - wasteful, and stupid. I admit I had remorse almost immediately, but it completely subsided when I learned how to navigate around the new OS on the iMac. I'm never looking back buddy. No more late night "fix my computer Subby" phone calls from ol' Sharky pal!

Red on red violence. Both entities are dirty commies.
Only difference is that MS seems like it's lead by the type of commies that would serve as party functionaries and earn money and privilege building the gulags. Google seems uniformly staffed by the types of dirty commies that would stage show trials and gleefully rat out neighbors. |
