Something to do with them stopping their use of their version and making IE 
compatible with the SUN version of Java.

Wasnt the programmers they fired.  They moved their support to India, same as 
Dell, and several other comapnies.  Dell is finding out that while it may be 
cheaper money wise, it is costing them.  The English spoken by Bob or Sam in 
India cannot be understood by most.  The French support is still here in 
Belleville, and many are calling that line in the hopes of getting somebody 
that will speak English to them.  No such luck.
