Microsoft Lied About Browser Downloads

from the proud-of-their-dishonesty dept

Microsoft admitted today that they lied about download figures for IE 4.0 when it came out. Well, okay, they didn't lie, but they certainly stretched the truth more than just a little bit. This is fairly typical Microsoft, and then they wonder why everyone mistrusts them.

Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.

Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.

While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.

–The Techdirt Team

    Hi Mike,

    I'm not sure if you are still around, or how old this site is for that matter but I wanted to ask you is it still feasible to hack someone's hotmail password? I just read some article, very old however, that it used to be possible to find someone's email password through using javascript. What is your take on this? I would really like to know if it is at all possible.

    Thanks!
