Art...I'm not sure neutrality is the issue here....truth is a bit more important than their taste in naming the site...(and the article on hidden files was written by someone else).

I do suspect that if the charges are true, then some of the young techies who spend most of their time dealing with this stuff simply don't CARE about site names...(or, they actually hope that the name will attract attention!)

The article is very precise, detailed and clear....I simply CANNOT see why MS has set things up so that when you 'think' you are deleting files, emails, and histories, you really are NOT.....unless it is for MS benefit...or someone they might work with/for...

I, personally, have used IE and Outlook Express very little, out of preference....but I shudder at what the implications are for those who have used nothing else.

(Also...though Netscape 6..etc..may be 'better', it IS owned by AOL now, and I'm not sure I care for THAT situation either *grin*...I am having VERY good luck with Opera and K-Meleon as backups for Netscape 4.7, so I'll just wait and see)...have not tried Mozilla yet, but perhaps soon.
