Love Bill Gates or Hate him, Microsoft is a huge reason there are so many surfers online and coming online everyday. Does anyone really think that if Microsoft showed no interest in the internet, there would be so many surfers?
Even cleo, check your stats...
How many people are using a Microsoft OS? And, if they were not, how would they connect to the internet so easily? I admit, Apple is different...I am sure they include a browser as well in their OS. Or not

I don't know....
