Advertisers Protest Microsoft's IE10 - Business Insider

The chief marketing officers of Procter and Gamble, Walmart, Ford, Verizon, Coca Cola, Unilever, General Electric, American Express, Kraft, and 30 other companies signed a letter to Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer, complaining about the "do not track" (DNT) function planned for Internet Explorer 10.

 IE10 will launch with a default DNT position, preventing consumers from being targeted by advertisers.

Those advertisers spend $2.8 billion a year via Microsoft.


The letter is thus the most humiliating form of public dressing-down Microsoft could have received from its clients. 



The subtext: No tracking data, no ad dollars.
