[citation][nom]JMcEntegart[/nom]A lot of people don't realise there are other options out there. For ages my friend's mother was using IE ("the internet" as she called it). When I downloaded firefox for her she said she was "using a different internet now and it works better." Some of the not so tech-savvy really have no idea what's available to them.[/citation]
I %100 agree... im sure a lot of us can relate this to our parents. Imagine now for one moment.. mom & dad spend $1500 and bring home a new Dell, first boot up they are asked "what internet browser would you like installed? IE, Firefox, Crome, Etc." They will be SOOO confused, whats the point... give them IE, if they want to change they can... AND it's free! so are the others!
[citation][nom]jtt283[/nom]That's like buying a Ford, but insisting on a Chevy radio in it, or a Pontiac grill. Microsoft, the vendor, offers "The Product" for sale. You either buy "The Product," or you do not. The choice is entirely up to you. If you don't like some portion of "The Product," the onus is on you to investigate alternatives, or possibly pay a third party to do something about it for you.[/citation]
true that!
