Well crap! I just caved into Microsoft! There is some streaming web stuff out there that I really want to watch, but it's available only in WMP or RMP format. so I caved. I hate my self.

I just downloaded WMP 7.0 for Mac (nice site design by the way MS, it took me like 10 pages to get to an actual download link). Well, I guess I can look forward to even more crashes and poorer system performance. I wonder if the plug-in will even work with Netscape.

Those bastards always find a way to get their hooks in you.

Just 'cause we're not in the Garden of Eden anymore doesn't mean we are in Hell. But damn Microsoft and their temptations! If it's not WMP, it's IE, or OE, or freaking Hotmail. MSN Passport! All of their giveaways are just bait!

thats a pretty sick correlation there. to equate anyone with the nazis is kinda harsh and i dont think thats very cool. sure microsoft wants to remove everyone else from the computer market and dominate but its nothing like what the nazis did.
