Immediate reaction upon reading this:

  • The title is confusing if you don't know the context.
  • "The browser ballot will give Windows users an option of switching to one of twelve competing browsers" - the article should perhaps give a list of browsers. I'm familiar with some pretty obscure browsers, but i certainly cannot think of 12 of them (even if you include the non-windows browsers).

I agree:
  • Internet Explorer
  • Firefox
  • Safari
  • Opera
