I don't care who writes it as long as it it good software. Sorry to say I
prefer IE to Netscape, despite IEs massively sanitised nasty plastic user
interface it is substantially less buggy than Nutscrape. The competition -
Lynx & Opera. Say no more. I just wish there was a real alternative to
Netscape in Linux. It annoys me to have 'My Netscape' and 'Shop [at] Netscape'
buttons when one of the reasons I use Linux is to get away from all that
commercial cr*p.

IE5 for Mac is IE as it should be - a proper application with no
undocumented hooks into the host OS. Maybe MS realised they would have to
try harder for Mac users who are used to a substantially higher standard of
application software.

Roll on Mozilla M16.
