I fail to see how we are not giving people choice?

In exactly the same way that a `giant IT company' (now you must see Dr. Evil fingerquoting `giant laser') did when hardcoding IE into it's supercalifragilisticexpialidocius (again Dr. Evil) `operating system'.<BR>
Just because Google use the force, err the open source, doesn't make it Luke Skywalker. As a matter of fact, IMHO Google slowly become a replacement for the `giant laser'.<BR>

Most of geeks that I talk to do, that is for sure? Have you talked to
somebody who has used any one browser for last few years and
discovered Chrome/ium in last few months? I have and they are all in
high praise of Chrome/ium when comparing it to other browsers they
have used.

As well as they praise Google Docs over Office, Google Calendar over Exchange, a.s.o.<BR>
In fact, figures shows that Firefox kept it's market share for the last 6 months, while IE lost 1 percent each month for Chrome. So to speak, Chrome users seems to be former MS users that just realized they could brake out their M$ jail. And yes, this made them geeks. Sort of. :)<BR>
<BR>
And oh, IE is still used by much more than 70 millions users. That doesn't make it a rock solid browser.<BR>

And you hold the key of ultimate truth? ;)

No, but you seems to hold this key, as you already proposed to remove any other browser, but Chromium.<BR>

None of us is right, and we can't know what is truth or false without
some strong discussion.
