That is one descriptive title. It totally explains the content of this post. Microsoft has recently come out with its IE8 and I’m sure Firefox is shaking in its boots (if Firefox had boots and actually was afraid of Redmond).

It looks like Amazon’s decision to file a lawsuit against New York’s new tax policy on online stores may back fire on them as the Texas Comptroller’s Office is investigating the probability that the online store may actually owe the Texas government millions of dollars in unpaid taxes.
