I read an article in a magazine called computer user and I saw this statment about IE regarding the shift toward Mozilla:

"I've often wondered why browser makers don't just build this (spyware blockers) stuff into their software, rather than requiring users to get it from third parties. In the case of Internet Explorer (IE), the reason is Microsoft owns one of the largest direct-marketing and ad technology companies and builds the leading suite of tools for direct marketers."

So I'm wondering what direct-marketing company they are talking about?

Thanks, cause if I understand the implications its like virus companies creating viruses inorder to sell their software (which probably happens, but will never be made public by the companies).

no one knows? Hrm... I tried google, but all I get is news about microsoft's aquisition of a spyware company, which hints at microsoft's strain under the mozilla pressure. Nevertheless even if they did include spyware in IE I bet you they would stilll create new spyware tricks under their direct-marketing companies, which of course won't have a patch until a year later :disgust:
 
If Microsoft built it, the other software companies will whine and complain saying they are trying to monopolize.
