Microsoft are Getting Desperate

[jacek]

I saw this on TV a few days ago.



Really ? A prime time TV advert for a browser. they don't even make any money form people using it ! This makes no sense !

[EcazS]

Wow... It started to sound like a TV ad when it said "High Definition | fast".


(I read Minecraft first instead of Microsoft...)

[Temor]

False advertisement. IE is NOT fast, it's NOT secure and it WON'T change the world. If it does it will only be for the worse.
I can't believe Microsoft is still putting funds into IE. Include Firefox and Chrome as the default browsers with all copies of Windows instead.

[EcazS]

They include Firefox.

[Temor]

They do? In which releases? I just bought W7 ultimate a few weeks ago and all I got with it was tonnes and tonnes of toolbars for IE9. I had to download both Chrome and FF myself.

[bowersbros]

I believe in the EU they are forced to, since the Supreme courts of the EU considered them to have a monopoly or something, and had to place fair competition. So they chose Firefox.

Could be wrong, but thats what I can recall by memory.

Also, does anyone else thing Supreme courts sounds like a game location, not something in real life?

[EcazS]

I guess in most releases before IE9. When I bought Windows 7 a few months after it had come out I had a Firefox installer on my desktop.

Really? I've never bought or downloaded a w7 release with FF pre-installed. Very strange... Maybe I just got releases from before the mandatory Firefox addition?

[EcazS]

I don't think it's mandatory for them, they don't have monopoly on web browsers. Maybe I got a weird copy, didn't buy it directly from Microsoft.

[jacek]

didn't buy it directly from Microsoft.

you mean

didn't buy it.

just like everybody else

Suuuurrrreeeeee.

[janvier123]

IE is crap, end of story ...

[EcazS]

I buy all software I need for my work computer.

Suuuurrrreeeeee.

I'm serious!

I buy it!

but I'm not the one paying for it....

[sevvlor]

Its not desperate it's pathetic

[jacek]

Its not desperate it's pathetic

I just don't see the point of a TV advert for it ! They must have spent a lot on producing and running this but it gets them nothing in return

[conradk]

They should spend more time developing the thing so people wouldn't go for Chrome or FF instead...

I hear IE10 might be a bit better. If they integrate it well with Windows 8, that might not be to bad

[EcazS]

And who is going to get Windows 8... lol.

[conradk]

I'm not ^^

I don't want to pay for sh*t anymore Especially since EA is publishing a few games in the Ubuntu software center ! Ubuntu is getting big !

[bowersbros]

And who is going to get Windows 8... lol.

Got the beta.

Its incredibly confusing :/

[Helx]

I think I can sum all of this up...

IE = IDONT

(Too bad I was watching that video on CHROME)
