IOW MS quality is rapidly shooting down the plug-hole ! Someone, in this
NG I think, recently commented, in as many words, that since Bill Gates
left the "helm," MS is nothing more than a "money making enterprise," and
after spending time recently banishing a stubborn ATDMT data-tracking
cookie, and tracing its' stubborness to a registry key that was persistently
letting in that ATDMT cookie via Ms's Live / Hotmail account + "Bing" IE8
search plug-in ....I tend to agree !!!
