I find Microsoft quite a hypocrite, now that it has made Bing the default search engine on the Internet Explorer 6. Hypocrite because they have time and again stated that they will not monopolize on its reputation as being the leading provider of computing OS as well as leading the browser market. What’s even worse is that users cannot switch to another search engine have been useless and each time they do, an error message is displayed. While the IE6 may not be used by all to browse the web, but still almost 20% of Internet users make use of the browser. I am not sure why Microsoft would implement the idea of default is power, maybe it needs to juice in maximum visitors from its prime browser for the much promised search engine, Bing. Those of you still using IE6 can switch to better and more secure browsers like Chrome, Firefox, IE8, etc.
