Yes, but they are charging someone more to provide access to their site. The issue is to ask for a % 'tax' and the amount that they charge will be different for every punter with ie7. I think it would be far easier if they denied access to the site until you ungraded you browser. [edit] good point he is getting a lot of publicity out of it [e digicons]:D[/e]

I wouldn't call it sneaky, it will be up for debate. Everything will be put on the table, other parties will put forward their recommendations. Everyone will disagree and enjoy an expensive holiday... see you next year. The International Telecommunication Union members will work on (tweak) polices and plans for next time to justify their large pay packets ... nothing gets done.

This idea has been around for awhile, the UN wants to raise money. A country has to agree to give tax to the UN ... not everyone will agree to it, why would you.

MS is looking to get rid of start menu hacks for windows 8 " Related to this second point is information I’ve received that Microsoft has been furiously ripping out legacy code in Windows 8 that would have enabled third parties to bring back the Start button, Start Menu, and other software bits that could have made this new OS look and work like its predecessor.
