  Why does it suck? Would you feel the same way if the same folks had
  taken advantage of a Netscape-only feature? Would you be up in arms
  about that? 
  
  Features are there to be taken advantage of. That's why they are
  developed.
  
  If you don't like products that use certain features, you are free to
  vote with your feet and not use them. Do you really think that the
  government should be in the business of regulating software features?
