Oh yeah, sure! >>>The reality is and will be like so: Microsoft's IE :( X-( :( Firefox, Netscape, Opera :) :^O :D |

| 275444 | 2004-09-25 05:52:00 | Hi While I'm really rapt with Firefox, I notice a lot of Mozilla sites keep pushing you to get Thunderbird as well . I'm happy enough with OE at the moment and if I changed it probably wouldn't be to Thunderbird . There's a lot of others around . And I still use Internet Explorer for my updates . Also Adaware connects you to IE when it comes to linking up to latest news releases via the Adaware program . Wonder what the internet scene will be like in a years time . Marg . |

| 275445 | 2004-09-25 10:11:00 | >>>"IE has been a part of the operating system since its release," said the Microsoft representative. "IE is a feature of Windows." Where on earth do these MS folk learn to speak such crap? When the web was in it's infancy and Mosaic ruled, followed by Netscape, Microsoft refused to believe there was any future in the internet, and there were third party TCP/IP stack suppliers like Trumpet, and it was quite a feat to get Win3.x set up for internet unless you bought a complete "in a box" package. Then they suddenly woke up and had to supply retro fit IE with TCP and dialler packages to go with Window 3.x To say IE was a part of the operating system since its release is sheer fantasy. |
