This is something that I've been thinking about for ages, and can't quite get my head around. Maybe users of this forum can put me straight.
I read all the time about people not liking the fact the IE now dominates the browser market, having seriously pushed Netscape out of the way. It's quite easy, if you don't like the browser that Microsoft has kindly included in Windows free of charge, then use other browsers. Yes, it would be nice if IE and OE could be uninstalled, but if you don't like them, don't use them. Yes, it does mean that you need to download extra security updates, but you'll be downloading Windows updates anyway, so why not download IE updates at the same time.
The other bit I don't understand is why Microsoft wants to dominate a market with a product that it doesn't make any money on. Is it purely because when people are surfing, it wants to see Microsoft on the blue bar at the top of the screen?
I'm sure I'm missing something here, and I'm also sure that there are plenty of people out there just waiting to correct me.
