Oh the lolz when they are fined. I do hope this reaches the level of BBC News.
It's always nice to see a Microsoft exec. squirm in a TV news interview. I wonder
what lame excuse they will come up with. Something a vague as:

"We want to keep our users secure and safe"
or even as patronising as:
"User may break something trying to install other operating systems"

Heaven forbid people should be able to do what they want, with what they PAID FOR AND OWN!


Roll on the M$ embarrassment

Betamax FTW!

Do they mean Crackers? Hackers are people who program and are considered to be very good at it. Crackers are those who break into other people's systems.

Damn skippy!

This was my initial thought too. Google make their money off adds. To make it easy to use Adblock Plus on Chrome would lose them money. Chrome is good, but I have too many Firefox plugins that are _so_ useful, I cannot switch.

* ietab - For SharePoint integration features with evil nazi M$ Office (Sucks, but I need it for work)
* Adblock Plus - Making the internets bearable
* Gmail Manager - multiple gmail accounts monitored
* XMarks - Sync'ed bookmarks, mit the tags also. ftw.
* SwitchProxy Tool - For work/home migration. Changing the proxy for ie, safari (damn I hate that one) and chrome is a bitch. Firefox + Proxy Switch Tool really ftw.
