Thanks, Clayton, for posting that link ! I found Suarez-Potts first response with the link to Rob Weir's blog particularly salient - note that while the lack of randomness in the EC-mandated browser ballot seems to have been resolved, Microsoft has now managed to so conflate it with a series IE-updating windows that the ballot is hidden from all but the most persistent users (who wouldn't need it in the first place). Deception and dirty tricks seem to be the name of the game in Redmond.... Henri
