   Is there some criminal action of which you are aware that is a secret =
to the rest of us?  Or maybe you just mean that you have convicted.

   It's also interesting how you jump all over the place when you spin =
your FUD.  You can't support your own claims so you try to find someone =
else mailing a different claim that sounds similar.  When that fails you =
switch topics.

   You did get something right though.  What you think does not matter.  =
You are wrong though in claiming what Paul thinks does not.  Paul =
appropriately replied to your FUD with a refutation of a concrete = example
of how IE integration benefits him.

  Whatever you or I think does not matter.

  Microsoft was convicted of committing a felony.   Neither your nor my
  opinion on it will change the decision.  So deal with it.
