Let's see if I understand your asterisk scribble:

"I hate how Microsoft Office is so far off from Apple."

Am I close? (Count the letters, it's an exact match char-for-char.)

In response to above: The alternative on this computer to IE is Netscape 4.7, which I detest, to say the least. IE 5 (this under 9.2.2 on a G3/233 Mhz) is plenty fast, and it renders relatively quickly and accurately, and I hate the look of Netscape. (And don't tell me to upgrade to 7 because that's not my call.) IE works plenty well for me, I just want updated support for new standards and new technologies.

It seems to me that netscapes days are numbered too. AOL sold them down the drain for a measily 700 million. Where else were they getting capital? People aren't going to pay for a stand alone browser, so revenue will only be available to those who bundle the app with on OS (leading to long gaps in the updating process also). Only the freewilligers of opensource will be doing anything step by step.

I think Windoze XP will be the last Windoze version that a lot of people install if MS goes ahead with their "trusted computing" garbage.

The thing is that Fritz is going to be part of the cpu (intel and amd) and we all know the success companies like Compaq have had bucking MS pressure about the configuration of their installs. Most people buy what the stores sell, and that means longhorn
