>> It's the same with women. If the girl didn't have some fun when she was a teenager, she will regret it later and try it when shes 30-40 years old, and usually married. Interesting that you apply that only to women.... Do you: a) find it inconceivable that a man NOT screw around as a teenager or b) feel that such a man would nevertheless NOT regret it later or c) Think it's OK for a married 40 yo man to play around ??

Let's say, for example, that Microsoft had: 1) Taken an existing web standard and made proprietary changes to it (promising to make the changes open-source, "in the future"), and 2) Implemented those changes in IE and MSN/Bing/Live.Com making those sites faster when using IE. Wouldn't everyone here being screaming "Anti-trust" and demanding an SEC investigation?
