It is always the trend for the leading vendor to try to protect the turf when something new comes around. They try to shut the users into their surrounding and make it difficult not to use their products.
I recently got a powerpoint called pptx and it wanted me to register at MS and also I was supposed to get a permission from them to open it and as it happened the original owner had registered it so I could not open it. I tried to use a conversion service from zamzar who offer to change pptx to ppt or pdf or html but they failed because it was registered to an owner. It always backfires when a vendor becaomes too cocky and trie to lock in the users. I am sure chrome will attract many users tired of ie. I went over to firefox to get rid of ie dependency a long time ago and it was difficult many times when especially MS did not want to do upgrades if you did not use ie and non standard products. Chrome is a new way of thinking in browsers and I am sure MS will do their utmost to spoil for them and make life dificult for a while. 2008/9/4 Alex Rufon <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Hi Raul, > > Visual Studio works erratically when debugging websites using a non-IE > browser as your default.
