Gecko May Replace IE In AOL/CompuServe

ShaunC writes: "According to this C|Net article, pieces of Gecko have been spotted in a beta version of the next CompuServe client, and AOL has confirmed that Gecko is being tested as CompuServe's default browser. AOL 7.0 is shipping with IE, but perhaps future versions will widen the gap between AOL and Microsoft. (I'm glad we won't be seeing AOL-TW-MS-NBC.)"

If Gecko is replacing IE all we need now is something to replace AOL & Compuserve

Actually they've spotted pieces of Geico, which can save CompuServe customers 15% or more on car insurance.

The day has come...

I really hate to say this, and it's not a flame, but I think most of the problems *nix users have with IE is they expect it to work by default. Perfectly. And if they dont, they try hacking at it like they do in *nix, and cause problems (kill off the stability)...

Yeah, the nerve. Imagine sitting down to use a piece of software and actually expecting it to work. Perfectly, no less! And if it doesn't, I have the unmitigated gall, the chutzpah, the social insensitivity to attempt to make it work. I am truly ashamed of myself.
