Microsoft shows its anti-Israel colors, and it is "IE Blue"

Microsoft has announced that they will be scrapping Internet Explorer. Spartan will be their now browser, and it will be more similar to Chrome and Firefox.

Big news. it probably makes most of us happy.

I think though that this must be an anti-Israel decision. Perhaps even an attempt to overthrow our government.

I mean, how will our government continue to function without Internet Explorer?  All government websites that allow user interaction, for paying bills, for downloading and uploading form, issuing payments, etc. all require Internet Explorer.

I can see the government collapsing over this. I can see civilian uprisings, as we will no longer be able to do our government business online, but will have to go stand in line at government offices. I see chaos.

I did not know that Microsoft was so anti-Israel. Until now.

(this post should be taken with a grain of humor)

    The perfect reason to improve by going up to Apple and the Mac. Its intuitive and eclectic.

    Neshama, going to Mac doesn't help you interfact with a system built on IE. The truth is that if you want to file VAT or income tax forms on line, or apply for maon/tzaharon discounts...you can ONLY do it in Internet Explorer.

    It's about time they wean themselves off of Windows.
    Just like it took too many years to get off the copy-everything-that's-american kick Israelis were obsessed with (many until today).

    What is "a grain of humor"?
