Ah, except one comment this surely disqualifies Slashdot as a serious forum. As does "rewarding" my remark with a 0! Of course only "funny" remarks make any chance at all. And yes this is a sour post!

I wonder if I missed a comment on the fact that Chrome pushes itself up by including itself in the installation of a lot of other software, sometimes even without an option to not install it, as I recently found out with F-Secure. Maybe that although I uninstalled immediately, I'm still counted as a user and maybe a default user. For these actions alone it should be severely punished by an uninstall by all who read this, regardless of the quality.

I have read the article itself and it is very informative on the subject. The Slashdot caption is completely off the mark. It should have read: "Disappointment on abolishing plan to tax car use in the Netherlands" or something like that.

Most of you will probably wonder: Framework? Framework was and in some ways still is the most superior integrated suite ever developed. Unfortunately they where slain by Wordperfect (4.2) and probably some bad marketing from Ashton Tate. It is in the obscure hands of a firm called "Selections & Functions" who really hasn't done much for it. It looks like they have abandoned it all together.
