They target users that use MSN for the thing that they are supposedly good at: they make products in Fisherprice colours that will make you feel "happy". These people must be gay, MSN thought.

Well, with the possible exception of AOL, I can't think of a browser thats more for gay people than MSN.

congratulations.

i think they mean "gay" in the immature, haven't-really-thought-about-it, 15 year old way!   :D    :D    ;)        :rolleyes:      

so don't sweat it.

i just think msn don't want to risk alienating anybody since their goal is world domination. (it is! i promise, it's part of the company goals!)

Big deal guys. Lets not go overboard with this. Gay people have a community as well and of course M$ wants to target them, why gay people should be offended by it? Its a free market.

 And the arguement about the nice colors and so on.  Who doesnt want an OS that looks good.  
 You should see how KDE is set up in my computer. I have so many colors that can make a blind man see.

Who cares? They're just targeting a demographic. One that has a lot of money.
Simple business. It's probably one of the least screwy things M$ has done recently.

Um, did anyone else know that mail.microsoft.at is actually running BSD?
Specifications are for the weak and timid!
You question the worthiness of my code? I should kill you where you stand!
Indentation?! - I will show you how to indent when I indent your skull!
What is this talk of 'release'? Klingons do not make software 'releases'. Our software 'escapes' leaving a bloody trail of designers and quality assurance people in its wake.
Klingon function calls do not have 'parameters' - they have 'arguments' - and they ALWAYS WIN THEM.
Debugging? Klingons do not debug. Our software does not coddle the weak.
A TRUE Klingon Warrior does not comment on his code!
Klingon software does NOT have BUGS. It has FEATURES, and those features are too sophisticated for a Romulan pig like you to understand.
You cannot truly appreciate Dilbert unless you've read it in the original Klingon.
Our users will know fear and cower before our software! Ship it! Ship it and let them flee like the dogs they are!
