Microsoft to push Internet Explorer 8 through automatic update

the only way they can gain market share and the reason they still have a fairly large amount of it in the US. Pitty, i hope the EU commission rid us of their tactics.

Ghoul6236d ago

thats my main problem with ms, forcing everything onto the users.

but you can rest assured that ms will receive a hefty fine from the EU for this once more.

Kushan6236d ago

Try reading even the summary:

"Starting next week, the company plans to begin delivering IE 8 via Automatic Update to users with older versions of IE installed. "

If you already have IE, it'll just update it to the latest version. If you uninstall IE (Yes, you CAN do that, at least you will be able to in 7) then you'll not get the update. Heaven forbid Microsoft keeps their programs up to date! Indeed, Microsoft is SO EVIL for updating people's software so they don't get viruses and stuff, eh?

XxZxX6236d ago

YES YES. Please update if necessary. I'm so fed up having to writing a separate css for IE6 that have to kludge png transparency. Couldn't somebody please stop using IE6 please.

Then shortly after they'll send out a press release claiming 100+ million users chose to upgrade, actively use it, and absolutely love it.

ShabzS6236d ago (Edited 6236d ago )

i love IE8... its faster than my firefox and really helps me surf faster during file downloads ... i like it.

Ghoul6236d ago

sure if you dont mind using the worlds worse browser and its tons of security leaks and personal information gathering by ms.

kevanio096236d ago

Would rather the idiots use a relatively up to date and safer IE than an older less safe one.

IzKyD13316236d ago

See, Mozilla does it the right way, people can download their browser if they want to, Microsoft forces it's way into everyone's homes

Godmars2906236d ago

But if they were, and this was the first time, critics would be coming from all sides attacking them for it.

Because this MS, this is no surprise.

Not looking good. Hopefully Asha Sharma is able to turn Phil’s disaster around.

dveio8d ago

To me it's still quite remarkable how they can cash-in 5.3bn in revenue in a single quarter, since their hardware is basically dead.

Jingsing8d ago

The stock mark is what makes Microsoft remarkable, They have convinced every institutional and retail investor to just keep piling money into them. Like many big tech giants they are just a big growing pyramid scheme. As long as people keep dropping money into ETF's that cover the market Microsoft will always be liquid. At the same time it is completely stifling innovation and competition. People need to start being more discreet in how they invest their money as it's killing the system.

Tanktopmaster928d ago

Once they re-evaluate exclusive all will be fine….

S2Killinit8d ago

Riiiiight because people will just flock back to them for one or two games per year.

Jingsing8d ago

15+ years of bad performance is what they call irreparable in business. It is time for them to sell off the assets and get out of entertainment.

Tanktopmaster928d ago

These declines are on the back of extra revenue received from releasing games like Forza horizon 5 on PlayStation. So I’m being sarcastic here when I said they should go back to exclusives. Killing off a revenue stream from Ps5 sales will only make things worse
