Surprisingly for all MVPs IE is a wonderful tool without thinking while all
those rational ordinary users are prepared to discuss and debate with an
open mind.

Does this say something about MVPs and their level of intelligence? I for
once don't want to bring myself to their level of intelligence if they are
so stupid. Milly, baby, take notice.

All MVPs have so far disagreed with the German Government and one wonders
whether MVPs are better placed to comment on such important issues publicly.

I for once don't take German Government at their face value because they
have, in the past instructed their offices to use Linux so I am not
surprised they came out with this latest salvo. However, M$ (Germany)
accepted that IE was the weak link so who am I to argue with them?
