Firefox At Risk Due to Sneaky Microsoft Plug-In

EULA does NOT = law. Just because a softwares end user license agreement says somethign does not meant hey have the legal authority to do it even if you click 'i agree'.

The problem is they are modifying a competitors product without notifying the end user. Worse then that is they modified it with a known security flaw.

I'm liking Ubuntu more and more everyday. No offense to windows users out there. I'm still waiting for Wine or game developers to pick up the slack =/

I really don't like ms software. Thankfully I haven't used MS crapass software for over a year.

[citation][nom]linuxfanboy[/nom]Linux blows the doors off of M$crap any day of the week..... I quit using M$crap products back in 1999... well, I can't say that, I get paid to fix them....... but I use Linux. M$crap is for sheeple.Use Linux and expand your brainpower. It's free, it's more stable, it's compatible, it's opensource. About the only thing M$ has done right is the XBOX, and the red ring of death issue sorta puts a damper on even that. As for you roybatty.... your obviously not smart enough to use Linux, or you wouldn't be on the M$train. I've paid ..hmmmm lets see $0 for my OS's and programs over the last 10 years..... I'm guessing you have paid a bit more than that with M$... so truely, who's the loser Not me.[/citation]

Why do some (a lot of?) Linux users talk like this? Does it make you feel cool when you type Micro$oft or M$?

I honestly can't believe someone who is insulting another poster's intelligence comes out with this gem of a statement below:

"As for you roybatty.... your obviously not smart enough to use Linux, or you wouldn't be on the M$train. I've paid ..hmmmm lets see $0 for my OS's and programs over the last 10 years..... I'm guessing you have paid a bit more than that with M$... so truely, who's the loser Not me."

Are you kidding me? With gems such as: "Truely" "Your obviously not smart enough" "OS's"

Where does someone like this get the bravado to insult another person's intelligence? Perhaps some remedial English classes should be in order before slinging insults about someone else's intelligence?

When someone develops a smorgasbord OS that is compatible with just about everything and can do just about everything, and without having to to remedial school then maybe I might jump ship! In the mean time stop the bashing because in all these years no one and I mean no one has been able to provide to the common man what MS has.

WPF is not new and it is definitely not something MS just cooked up to bash FF users. The API has been around for several years and is just another browser based multimedia framework. So yes, let's all hate on Microsoft because they are trying to bring added functionality to Firefox, that's logical. Software ships with bugs, that is why the update system exists, get over it. And TG, do some F***ing research next time, you bring shame to the Tom's moniker.
