More Microsoft Tricks! (makes me want to hug open source.. poor as it makes me)

So, Microsoft want us to upgrade our internet browser. From what I can figure out their *strategy* to get us to upgrade goes as follows:

1. End Support
2. Try to force the upgrade upon us via Windows Update (if possible)
3. Update all their webpages so they use a feature of the new browser, which just happens (*cough bullshit*) to break compatibility with their oldest brower still compatible.
4. Provided other "security updates" to 'related' parts of the operating system which *cough* again just happen to slowly break their oldest browser in increasingly annoying and agravating ways (example with IE 7, alignments suddenly different for same pages.. Suddenly the arrow keys no longer work for scrolling pages etc, previously smooth scrolling replaced by jagged glitchy scrolling).
5. If any user notices these facets, they will say "Please update your browser to resolve this issue, thank you".
6. Make the browser completely (artificially) incompatable with their next operating systems.

So, there you go.. if anyone reading this knows a Microsoft Executive who is be behind (or in support of) these "ideas" please, please, please do something just a little nasty to them (hide their car keys, erase their address books, factory reset their phone).

Let me know you have in comments and make my day ;).
