I just downladed Skype as my laptop hasn’t had it on since it was wipped. In doing so, I was asked if I wanted (read, forced to) upload the Google toolbar to my Internet Explorer. Well, for those of you familar with the Vista opperating system…and the famous Allow, Allow, Allow Microsoft vs Mac ads, you will know what is happening. Everytime the google toolbar want to do something, Microsoft ie7 responds by not allowing it.

Which leads to this constant face-off between Microsoft and Google, on a micro scale, on my laptop every 5 minutes.

 Talk about market competition!!!
