Maxthon - Why dont Microsoft acquire?
If you are an IE user, I strongly recommend trying Maxthon. I have been using this browser for a long time (may be around 2 years) and didnt find a browser like it. Well, actually it is built on top of IE (which I HATE), but the productivity is brings in is HUGE. I am so addicted with this, I donot browse the internet with any other browser except this one.
Microsoft is trying to build the features in IE 7 which Maxthon already has for a long time (and implemented extremely well). One simple way for Microsoft is to acquire Maxthon. I guessed that MS will acquire Maxthon first and then GIANT Antispyware later, but was proven wrong. The anti-spyware was acquired first and the other never happened (yet). Well, security seem to be MS focus now (it better be).
I have tried Opera, Firefox etc but felt that these are moderate browsers compared to Maxthon (I know I am asking for some trouble here 
). But if you are a power user, try Maxthon with most of the plug-ins installed.
