Re: How to add a URL-tile to the Dock from an Installer?

No end-user ever wanted a URL put in their Dock.
Some marketing guy obviously thinks the Dock is just like the Start
menu. He's wrong--the Dock isn't naturally hierarchical like the Start
menu, so you don't just add things to it unless you will really use
them every day. And apps don't add themselves to the Dock just as a
matter of course. This should be explained to him.
