Haven't used MSN messenger, opting for Fire instead. I have to vote for OmniWeb though. Then again I'm using the Sneaky Peeks, so what do I expect?

Virtual PC. Windows crashes all the time.

I don't use MSN messenger, but I use IE a fair bit and it seems stable.

My vote goes to Interarchy. Gah! I wish Transmit had all the features I need so I could use it at work instead.

Oh man, I'm asking for an ass-whooping here...

...but the Microsoft apps on my system (IE, Office, MSN) seem to be the MOST stable of all the apps on my system, save Apple applications.

Office runs like a dream on my G4/400 PCI machine. MSN never loses connection or crashes. AIM, on the other hand, has some quirks and seems to lose connection to the server a few times a week.

IE is fast and stable for me.

Microsoft's apps, out of all the applications I've used, seem to be the most "Aqua-compliant" and the interfaces are intuitive and smooth.

Ok, lemme have it. I know I deserve it. I'm not supporting Microsoft -- I think they're the evil empire just as much as the next Joe, but even the devil hisself can produce some pretty convincing and impressive software.

The only reason I didn't vote for IE is that it was so unstable, I rarely run it anymore. Only when I need to be able to look at JavaScript that Omniweb doesn't yet support.
