Internet Explorer 8

Quit trying to force people to accept your choices without options to use
their own. I have only had IE8 on my system for about 5 minutes and I don't
like it.
I don't like that you will not let me remove the auto add to favorites
button. I don't add favorites that way -- into your location of choice. I
always want the option to add to a specific folder within my favorites. Yes
I can still do that, but I don't want the button you force me to keep on my
tool bar with my "links"/"favorites bar." Also, I will not use Bing. I have
not tried it since others have told me that a search with that engine easily
brings filthy information to the computer screen. Again, you take choice
away from people. You say that it's a great new speedy feature to click on
an address and Bing will map it for you, but I won't use Bing and you don't
give me an option to have the instant mapping through any other service.
Stop trying to dictate peoples choices in the name of "improvment" or
"enhancement."

So you don't have to USE Bing. What's your problem?

To whom do you think you're talking? This is a newsgroup of your fellow
users. Nobody here is employed by or connected to Microsoft.

But as long as I have your attention, may I say that if you're the type
who makes up their mind about something after 5 minutes, you have a
small mind.

That's what ditching a product after only FIVE MINUTES (your phrase) does
for you.
Of COURSE there is an option to use other mapping services - you just need
to ADD it. (Googlemaps for example).
In fact there are more mapping services here

Maybe you can't read very well or you don't understand simple words -- my
problem is that Microsoft removes our FREEDOM OF CHOICE through their
"helpful" programming. Maybe you think it's fine to just "don't use it" but
that doesn't help other people who may not be aware that they can choose
other things and not take what's put in front of them. You are naive if you
think there are not people who blindly follow.

May I say, that if you are the type who believes that Microsoft doesn't
monitor chats like this that you have a sheltered mind.

I made up my mind that I do not like my FREEDOM OF CHOICE taken away,
something that requires much less than 5 minutes. I suppose that you did not
understand that my examples of CHOICE being removed by Microsoft through
their "helpful" programming is my complaint and dislike about IE8.

If you thought from the perspective of others and not just yourself, you
might have noticed that it's not clearly obvious to most computer users how
to make such changes. To maintain our freedom of choice in this country, you
can't just think about yourself.

And if you had looked closely, and tried a few of them, you might have found
that Microsoft did not provide equal technology to all other mapping sources,
i.e. "Preview Enabled."

So you would like IE (and other apps) to provide 6 million options for each
function?
Do you want to wipe their bottoms as well?

Q: "I want to see if there are other things I can add to IE"
A: "www.google.com"

QED.
