Yup. If bing does that to me again, google will further solidify itself as my favorite. You don't take market share by annoying users with software installation popups.Floyd wrote:you don't. cancel the download and click "remind me later". annoying tho.CDN_Merlin wrote:Stupid that we have to install yet another video codec/player to view this.

Ubuntu had no issues.Insurrectionist wrote:Questions, Why do you have to install a codec I didn't? Is it because you have a different browser? Different OS than Microsoft windows? I don't get it.
Yes that is what it asked this morning in IE at work. Don't need it and don't want it. Also, I stop viewing it because I had to wait for a stupid commerical. I'm tired of having commericals inserted before viewing a video.Krom wrote:Firefox (on Windows 7) also asked to install Microsoft Silverlight, which I avoided.
No. That allows people to make money off high end content. So not all videos on the net are about lolcats and teenagers doing stupid dangerous stunts.CDN_Merlin wrote:Yes that is what it asked this morning in IE at work. Don't need it and don't want it.

What are you on, satellite?Krom wrote:Adblock FTW.
Because Internet video is threatening to my cable company which would rather have me watch TV so they continue to get paid from both ends, they have imposed bandwidth caps and overage fines on their internet service. Because I am forced to limit the amount of data I can use per month on the net I prefer to waste as little of it as possible on advertisements.
Meanwhile the 250 TV channels in our package, from which we only want or watch 3-5 at most continue to hog tremendous amounts of bandwidth incomparably greater than the amount allotted to the internet connection.
