WinInet is a key component in much of the third-party internet components. This dll should rightfully have been part of the OS install not part of a addon product install. We all know this was done so that Microsoft could inextricably weave their browser into the guts of the OS forcing IE to be a required install. For this and other such abuses of power I think they should be confronted for their crimes against humanity. It is never pleasant to see any individual have their way with another just because they are bigger and can get away with it.
Abuse of power is abuse of power.
I will remember the grace and friendly fashion which Watchfire dealt with this issue. When it becomes a totally mute point and resistance to installation of IE is no longer practical nor possible I will be happy to whole-heartily recommend your company and product. Until then I will continue with my futile bleating against the monopolistic abuse of power being imposed upon computer users by Microsoft. Even though many others might share our opinions and even if the opinions originated from others at this point we are taking responsibility for our opinions.
