*lol* Zoo - did you also checkout the link to "TakeOver Technology" ??
That author has a real sense of humour! Also the great eMail potentials??

There is a hitch though:

QUOTE:

How do I install/uninstall Microsoft Firefox?
For installation, simple visit:

1. Here and download the appropriate version of Microsoft Firefox
compatible with your operating system.
2. Follow the online instructions.

* Note: Previous installations of browsers such as Internet Explorer and
Mozilla Firefox, will automatically be overwritten. The removal of
Microsoft Firefox from your system violates international copyright law.
Therefore, you cannot legally uninstall Microsoft Firefox.

so you will have to get a new puter if you don't like the new browser!
LMAO 8-)

na - found the problem.... I had a BSOD a couple of days ago, and it
seems it had nuked my Soundblaster drivers, so I just re-installed them
and all is OK.

If you just want to watch there is no difference between the
IE7 and the Firefox version (that I can see), maybe they
just named them one or the other because there is no
connection to a browser.

I couldn't get anything on the msfirefox page until I clicked
on an almost all black screen. As long as you sound is on
then would pursue a solutions:
uncheck obj-tabs in Adblock preferences/options
as described in http://kb.mozillazine.org/Problematic_extensions
and make sure you have updated compatible plug-ins

A marginally (and, at this point, relatively stale) joke.

yepp, Brian and Peter.... but still, I suppose, pretty disturbing for
someone who gets to see it for the first time (and maybe, doesn't read
all the posts here). The site is, after all, *VERY* well done and quite
convincing - despite the spelling mistakes, but that could be CNN or NYT
journalism *lol*!
