Default This is absurd

Did you notice that the groups you posted to (at least most) have NOTHING to
do with the topic you are raging on about? This makes you a TROLL. I am not
saying this because I worship Bill Gates as a god, but because in your "I
was robbed" speech, you stepped over the line as well. Makes it rather hard
to sit and take you seriously.

For the record, I think the IE 7 forced upgrade is unwise, perhaps even
stupid. It sounds like you had a bad upgrade. Download the bits and install
again. On the one machine that I have seen with a bad update, it worked fine
after that.

Next, if you decide to follow up, do this.

1. Write your rant
2. Erase it. You will now have calmed down
3. State your point in an intelligent and calm manner

If you follow this three step plan (to avoid having to go through a 12 step
plan :P), you will find that things are much nicer.

Now, to your issue: Did you notice any other symptoms of armeggedon other
than no tabs? :-)

I really, really, really, really, really, really tried hard not to
criticize microsoft, becuase I know some of you worship Bill Gates as your
God, but what just happened is beyond absurd. The world is in heap big
trouble with Microsoft at the helm of the software industry.

A little while ago, I got a notice that an update was ready. I didn't
know why I received it, becuase my system was set to receive Automatic
updates, and the caption on the notification said "Automatic Update".
First what is automatic about an update that asks me? Someone out to
knock Bill Gates on the head and ask, "Is anyone in there?". But that
isn't the problem, just a prelude. I'm really the idiote for saying yes
to the update. It was an Internet Exporer v7 update, or so it said. I
said yes, then it asked me if I accept the license, and of course I did.
The next thing I saw was that Internet Explorer V7 was being installed
( I had it installed over a month ago). Then it said it was uninstalling
a previous version and I thought, Uh Oh!!!!!! And rightfully so. I was
asked to restart my computer and naturally I couldn't ignor that request,
becuase it kept coming back and bugging me. So I said yes, and nothing
happened. So I tried to restart and it wouldn't. Finally after a several
attempts I opened the task manager and dumped a bunch of programs then
was able to restart. After I restated, I opened up IE and went to open a
new tab and there weren't any. HUH, I asked myself? No tabs? I like
tabs, what happened? This is what happened, the update uninstalled
version 7 and installed version 6.

Do I need to say any more? I can't, becuase there is no description
suitable to describe this, except, HUH!!!!!

I think Microsoft need some updating of personnel, starting with Bill
Gates and continuing until the last programmer is booted. Keep the
cleaning crew and the cafeteria staff.
