I'd give 100 to 1 odds that this was the result of some "SEO professional" who is still living in 1998..

According to Matt Cutts, BMW.de followed all the steps I mentioned previously, and has been reincluded after removing the JS redirect doorway pages.

So the next time Firefox has a security vulnerability on Windows you'll be happy if Microsoft stopped Firefox from working to protect their users?
After all, it's their platform.
Not only is google not a monopoly as Roja suggested, but there is a bid difference in that I can still visit the bmw site whether or not google is index it. For windows to stop firefox from working would destroy the users ability to access their webbrowser in any way.
