Shut the fuck up!

No one gives a fuck about your crappy shells. Shitty browsers I've never heard of or cared for. 4 of them are shells on top of Trident (IE's engine), 2 shells on top of Gecko (Firefox) and 1 duals Trident and Gecko.
Go fuck off! Anyone can put together a partially usable UI and then forwards everything to a renderer, doesn't make you special or worthy of the oxygen you breath.

We've got 5 major rendering engines: WebKit (Safari and Chrome), Gecko (Firefox), Trident (Internet Explorer), Presto (Opera) and KHTML (Konqueror). Konqueror is second fiddle and still in alpha stage on Windows with a port that requires all of KDE-base to be installed. NO surprise it wasn't mentioned.

Hacking a different shell on top of a rendering engine doesn't make you worthwhile of any notice, it is more than enough that Microsoft included you in the ballot. If I were Microsoft I would have limited it to Firefox, Chrome, Safari, Opera and Internet Explorer. So shut the fuck up! Instead of whining and complaining, how about innovating?
