I really hope so, but I’ll believe it when I see it. There is speculation that Microsoft will switch over to Webkit, the engine used by Safari and Chrome. If they do, I’d like to see Mozilla and Opera switch as well. A single standards-compliant rendering engine across all major browsers would be a boon to future web development.
The Geek Squad is starting to fear for their jobs. They count on the revenue that they get from Windows systems that need to be “cleaned up” twice per year. Linux == bye bye spyware…
In the newest (leaked) build of Windows 7, you are finally allowed to uninstall Internet Explorer. Geeks around the world are rejoicing at the prospect of removing IE from Mom and Dad’s PC and reducing spyware removal visits from monthly to annual.
People only use IE because it’s the browser that comes with their PC and they don’t know any different. I can count on my fingers the number of fools I’ve seen that actually use it on purpose.
The new taskbar in Windows 7 actually looks decent!
