Re: MS is to blame for this one I think it's stupid. It doesn't matter why DNT is set, it should be honored. If user chose IE because it has that on by default, does that change situation? If non-IE browser will on first start say "Would you like marketing companies to spy on your every page view, select Track Me Please!" and set DNT accordingly, will they start complaining that browser misrepresented the intent of poor marketing companies and thus DNT has to be ignored for that browser too?
If there is a TV that has skip ads on by default, I'd expect some customers to buy it precisely because it's a nice out-of-box experience.

kudos:1 | I see your point, but IE isn't a choice, it is the default on windows. It would be different if it was Firefox or one of the other (better) browsers. Anytime the default option on the default browser excludes marketing, marketers will ignore the option.
