I like the sound of this no IE at all anymore. Microsoft is just slitting their own throat this time. They want to imbed IE further into the OS, and no more standalone download. Wow. I do not see this being something people are going to like., let alone tolerate.

I always thought microsoft's only real advantage was their business tactics, now it's just another one of their weaknesses.
