Well, tis a hoax for sure.
I say that because I can't remove the internet explorer (6) icon from my Windows desktop and move it to my 'programs' folder on my desktop as I do with all my programs (I had to install IE6 because I have to use the faculty's website, wich is mainly based on 'blackboard', and wich can only be used with IE6).
It has been made impossible to remove the icon from the desktop just for advertising purposes :-x :-x :-x :-x
anyhoo
Speelgoedmannetje reccomends Opera as webbrowser :-)
