If anyone can back me up on this, or explain to me what kind of idiocracy
it took for this to happen, it would be greatly appreciated.
I was in Microcenter yesterday, and was just poking through all the budget
CDROM's. I came across a CD innocently enough entitled "Slackware Linux
3.3". I looked at it, it was your standard Slackware distribution. A
closer look, however, revealed something truly odd. As by some
defenistration of all logic, there was, in the lower right-hand corner,
stamped the mark of the beast. A logo aptly enough that read "Includes
Microsoft Internet Explorer." This is the same logo that appears on all
your AOL "Get 50 Free Hours" CD's. Has anyone else seen this? I almost
bought the CD just to see what the heck that meant being put on a
Slackware case. Did Microsoft port IE beyond Solaris platforms?
Just Curious.
