Well you aren't too bright are you? The things you mention all come
standard
on a new car, just like OE comes standard on a new computer..
Adding eYenc to your computer is like adding foglights to your new car.
You
might get fog once in a while, but you can get along without them...

That analogy, of course, is ridiculous. Computers these days come
will all sorts of stuff on them that isn't necessary--it has even
earned the name "bloatware." OE is no more or less "necessary" than a
competitor's product. If you choose to use it because you just love
anything Microsoft can manage to include anywhere, or are just too
lazy to see if there is anything better, you're welcome to it. But as
a user of Firefox, Eudora Pro, and Agent, I've chosen to use products
that I believe to be better than what Microsoft has come up with. I
don't use stuff just because of some marketing deal that a computer
manufacturer and a software manufacturer have struck.

Russell, you are the kind of soft touch that big corporations love.

Your hate of MS showing again?
