Wait until you've got to use Windows update. I've seen the actual windows update crash MSIE various times, then watch as *.microsoft.com was treated as www.microsoft.com, and oh have you seen the MSIE5 installer GPF yet? Or have you seen IE3 basically take over your computer as you're downloading something with your modem? It's crap.. a rose by any other name... From what I've seen MSIE is pretty nice when it works, which isn't too often for me. And as unstable as most of the browsers are, I think it's just the X11 versions of Navigator that are suffering the most. > I cant believe I just endorsed a MS product, /me smacks you with a dead penguin - alex To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-advocacy" in the body of the message
