    IE sucks and anyone with technical knowledge knows not to use it. So they have to do something to try to boost their image.

    i think you people have misunderstand that i have see that ad , it is not by official site of Microsoft or any site relevant to microsoft, it is a third party ad who is taking disadvantage with Google awords , the site is www.ie9enhanced.com , and no proof of site to have any connection with Microsoft . so in my thought microsoft is clear.
    you can also see it on image. i think we all should have to clear our thoughts before spreading such rumors.

    Good for you jimmytazz! That's the downside of forums - people just running off with their mouths (fingers, given they're typing) without checking out the facts...

    I'm sorry dude you are wrong this time..
    The site ie9enhanced.com is related to microsoft. Its hosted on msft.net. You can check the Whois info of ie9enhanced.com. You will see its hosted on microsoft server and its contact email is also a microsoft official email.

    It's pretty ironic that you where quick to slate people and yet you done the exact thing that you criticized. In other words, it is owned my MicroSoft.

    I guess these kind of things keep on happening. Fight among giants to capture market share :D. If MS has really done that its totally unaceptable

    Hi to All it is confirmed that the website is Microsoft's own site, for exclusive promotion of IE9 they have launched it. But using this kind of shit is really unacceptable and unethical. Shame on to Microsoft..

    I dont think so that the company like Microsoft, which is having a good reputation & also a big market share will do such a cheap thing. As the screenies show it is a third party website who is using both the top names of computer industry to boost up his business.

    Regards

    Market Research

    All I did was to state the downside of forums - jimmytazz was stating something - I neither agreed nor disagreed what he was saying - only that people do run off with their fingers...
