IE 5.5 will hopefully make Windows run better in general since he browser is so damn integrated. Just because it has to be downloaded doesn't mean it has to be used. It is better from a security standpoint to keep up-to-date with things.

As for tracking, we know they're doing it and all the lawsuits in the world are not going to stop them...just look at DoubleClick. And as for assimilating into "MicroBorg," just think where we'd be without them, 150 different OS's to write software for, 1000 different web browsers to write pages for.

And then again who knows...

All I know is fixing Micorsoft's screw ups is my job security.
