Microsoft Firefox
Well, it appears that Microsoft has purchased Firefox. Tough news! From their new website:
- Security Status Bar: Enhances awareness of website security and privacy settings by displaying color-coded notifications next to the address bar. Microsoft Firefox changes the Address Bar to green for websites bearing the Microsoft Partnership Certificate, indicating the site owner has completed extensive identity and friendship verification checks. Googling Filter notifications, certificate names, and the gold padlock icon are now also adjacent to the address bar for better visibility.
- Googling Filter: Proactively warns and helps protect you against potential or known fraudulent sites such as Google.com, blocks the site and shuts down your computer if necessary. The filter is updated several times per hour using the latest security information from Microsoft.
- Delete Browsing History: Allows you to clean up cached pages, passwords, form data, cookies, and history of illegal warez and propaganda sites - all from a single window.
- Address Bar Protection: Every window, whether it's a pop-up or standard window, will present an address bar to the user, helping to block malicious sites such as Yahoo.com

2. that Microsoft bashing is well, boring
3. I hope they get sued for using some registered logo or so
4. No, I'm not a Microsoft fanboy, I'm just tired of people bashing them over and over, if you really want to make a difference, forget about your games, become a serious man and boycott them.

Of course dear Lemur, sorry if I sounded too serious.
That site just looks like a lot of effort for a simple joke.

I must admit, that the M$ bashing, for the hell of it, has got rather boring. Personally I avoid their products, and have never bought an M$ product to date, but I wouldn't go and get all fanatical about it. Those sort of sites are still funny though. So long as they're not deadly serious they're ok.

Wow who would have ever thought that Mac's are an anti-freedom loving protectionist environment that only plays well with itself unless beaten into submission like a pale zombie in armani pin stripes. :egypt:
