Noel,

Have you moved on to WinXP???

Your older systems will still run on IE6 only...
;-)

On IE7, waiting to see...

Cheers,

I've been running XP since 2001 - and currently have a preview version of
Longhorn on this box.

Noel,

A bit OT on this thread, but Longhorn, in your opinion (I haven't tested or
tried it at all), is it a step forward similar to XP against Win9x/ME?

Or not so much...?

I would appreciate your comment, honest!

Thanks,

Zee

Step forward. Perhaps Big step forward, but it's still beta.

it's not even Beta, yet!! - the only currently-available versions are Alpha
hardware demos for the manufacturers to get their heads around it a bit

Firefox is nice, but there are still too many websites that are not
100% compatible with it. Or don't work at all.

Frank,

Thanks.

That really IS something to be looking forward!

I don't - I'm looking forwards to IE7

I am not. It isn't slated to run on Windows ME (AFAIK), and I am likely to
move up to Linux as my next OS.

You're right, Norman - IE6SP1 is as good as it's ever going to get in Win9x

The only web site I have been to that doesn't work with Firefox is:

http://v4.windowsupdate.microsoft.com/en/default.asp

Any web site which is DestructiveX exclusive isn't worth my time, anyway.

Msnbc.com has free news videos you can watch, but you must be using
Internet Explorer.

I've come across a few other websites where the pages didn't look
natural with Firefox. As Firefox gets more popular, web designers will
probably take this in consideration and make the necessary changes.

I've used Mozilla-based browsers like Firefox for years, and very rarely
encountered a site (other than a Microsoft site) that does not work well
with such browsers. I suspect that the biggest problems are with
intranets, and also with sites which have too little traffic to care
about the current percentage of people using such browsers.

Hello,

You're right, Norman - IE6SP1 is as good as it's ever going to get in
Win9x

Maxthon is good alternative (tabs, rss, ...):

Hello,

Actually, I don't like FireFox - I prefer Maxthon (browser based
on IE 6) or Opera (it depends on the site I visit)

BTW, skin "bright" is great for Opera:

Finally, contrary to my expectations, latest Netscape 8.02 is not
bad at all - interesting GUI and support for both IE and Gecko
engine without restarting browser:
