   Oh dude... I don't have enough words to describe my disgust for Bill 
gates and Microcrap.

   Listen I come from the time of MS DOS, I was a noob programmer back 
then and among compilers, .dll and other basic programming components 
the chat between close friends was don't use that MS 
compiler/component/program is very slow, is buggy it doesn't do well 
this... is crappy. Maybe MS has changed in part that but that's all I'm 
admitting.


About MS (lol)... a few months ago Internet Explorer 7 Team invited some 
  Mozilla FIreFox guys to help them better Integrate FireFox into the, 
back then, up coming Windows "Long Horn" (Vista), but I read in some 
other article later on, that they basically asked for help to give IE7 
tabbed capability and other FireFox security features, with all the 
millions, sorry BILLIONS... they ask developers from a freeware 
organization ADVICE. MS develops programming laguages... enough said.
