Internet Explorer and Firefox ( on news)

I use both Internet Explorer and Firefox for browing.  Firefox is small, fast, and has tabbed browsing which makes browsing easier ( though not in all).  But firefox still cannot run ActiveX  natively and some sites still can't run them.  I am sure this will spur Microsoft to improve internet explorer.

Here is an article "Why Businesses needs to be cautious on Firefox" that eloquently gives you a better idea why you should continue to use both.

Windows XP Reduced Media Edition   ( on tech)

The European Commission says that it is unfair for Microsoft to bundle Windows Media Player for free because it gives them an unfair advantage.   ( another news link in NY Times) . So Microsoft comes up with a version of Windows XP WITHOUT media player, and proposes to name it Windows XP Reduced Media Edition, but will sell it at the same price as Windows XP.

The commission disallowed the name, and says Microsoft should not do anything that will make this version of Windows unattractive to consumers. Huh?

Major European PC manufacturers says they don't plan to sell the Windows XP without the media player.  Interesting.  Am I missing anything here?
