    IE7 Nukes Google/Yahoo! Search

    Microsoft's Internet Explorer 7 went on a limited beta release Thursday and contains a nasty surprise for some users.

    Users with search toolbars from Yahoo! and arch-rival Google have discovered that these vanish. Other third-party toolbars designed to block pop-ups or aid with form filling appear to be working normally, according to reports....

    SIG TOO BIG! Maximum 120x60 button and no more than 3 text lines of DEFAULT SIZE and COLOR. Unless your sig is for a GFY top banner sponsor, then you may use a 624x80 instead of a 120x60.

            yea, but they have those types of lawsuits down now

            They are dropping support on the windows 2000 desktop which is still being used by a shitload of businesses, they are working on the msn search engine, they are readying a new os version and they are pissed at google, wouldnt surprise me if msn search is right on your deskstop soon, anti-trust or not

              Microsoft should have never implemented toolbars in the first place.

                FUCK ie, its nothing more than a piece of glorified crap. always has been and always will be. anything m$ touches will be this way.

                Often times I wonder why
                There's love and hate, theres live or die.
                When sickness comes I must decide:
                When feelings go, theres suicide.

                          they have been rumouring the google os for as long as I can remember, at least 3-4 years....if you research it a little, the reason the rumour started was cause they were going to start releasing their google appliance with it's own google OS on it....it was never going to be a google desktop OS, it was a server os for their appliances
