hmm yep i have also noticed some IE's connecting to some host at microsoft
(207.x.x.x) before displaying the "This website could not be bla bla"

kinda annoying... they also override your normal 404,500,403,402 pages so
users cannot see the <ADDRESS> displaying the vhosts webmaster address...

furthermore this piece of crap (IE) lacks functions to show source of some
parts of the code, it lacks functions to show page info (like netscape has
showing all links and scripts) so you cannot even see what it is doing..

it has bugs in the GIF library causing our logo to shake on some/most
versions (www.cb3rob.net, check the logo, its shaking ;), m$ does not
react to bugreports, they only pay $5.- damage if your entire company
breaks down if their "products" fail to operate normally

why the hell people use it anyway... well... their problem ;)

anyway.... pay for it and then demand your money back for manufacturer
faults when you "upgrade" to the next version (That way they dont make
money haha) hmmm time for a TV commercial campaign or something ;)
promoting demanding money back for such malicious "products" *grin*

(as there are still bugs still there from dos 4.0 there are plenty of
grounds for demanding money back anyway ;)

my dog can code better than those idiots at m$...
