    >_> Twitter FTL...are they trying to get more people on twitter, is that it??

    I swear it's going to be a) on an obscure website which no one can ever locate or b) it's going to be on a really really weird porn site.

    EU laws say that microsoft cannot package I.E with there windows any more ( windows 7 ) , so for the first time they have too advertise it.

    Gasp, that means that in the future not as many computers will be slowed down by the burden of IE! And maybe school districts won't always use IE, all the time, regardless of the fact it's freaking slow! :eek: (Though my district will stick with IE out of specialness.)

    And yeah, my guess is that if they're not already affiliates, Twitter probably paid Windows to tie them into the advertising...

    Companys will stick with I.E because admin & Techs are taught using only I.E, so if somthing go`s wrong with a firefox network people are not trainned to a standard to fix it :(

    Hahaha : D I would definitely use IE if I was 100% sure I got the 10k, but if I only have like 0,001% chance of winning them, I'll go for google chrome ^^;

    just ask your mom. --> that was a joke. bad, but still a joke.


    But in all seriousness, I think this is a brilliant advertisement. More people using IE, Twitter, and any other sites advertised on Twitter.

    Well, that's necessary to dodge the mosquitoes that are the most attracted to people with type B blood. :D

    And the 1 to googolplex chance is not enough to get me to use IE willingly...D=
