Nice how IE flashes up in first position for a moment before the randomisation. Once again Microsoft forces me to ask: evil or incompetent?

actually all 5 have a fixed position that can be seen for a fraction of a second right before being reshuffled: IE, FF, OP, GG, SA

I'm surprised this isn't a violation of the EU ruling -- I would have thought the randomisation was mandated for all users (server side).

if you have javascript turned off, you'll just see the IE first...it makes perfect sense...why exactly should MS promote their competitors?
