Netscape just sucks. about 6 years ago I was using netscape, I liked it, didn't like IE at all. Then IE came out with a new version that I thought was pretty neat, still used Netscape though, then netscape came out with there next version and it just plain sucked. I switched to IE and have seen no reason to switch back since.

So the world is slated to end in 2005; its rather humbling.
One feature I like about netscape that IE doesn't have is that you can make netscape go check all your bookmarked sites and tell you which have been updated since you last looked at them. I would love it if IE did this or if i could find an external app/plugin that did this too, or even polled the sites every 30 min and told me when a site had an update.

My idiot boss made a deal with micro$oft, and because I have'nt used windows since 3.1, i don't have a job anymore.
On my way home after telling my boss where he can shove the software he bought i got a flat tyre and ended up in a ditch.
when i finally got home i broke my front door key off in the lock and was chased around my house by the neighbour's dog, dropping my new notebook in the pool.
I broke into my own house only to find my wife in bed with another woman (and they did not let me watch).
Now i'm sitting in my mom's basementwith an old 486 and a 56k dialup.
FUCK YOU BILLY.
I know this is off topic, but i needed to get this off my chest.

Cool, I'm a troll... Just goes to show you can criticize the Mac GUI for looking good, but the second your rag Windows you're modded down...
to the crackhead moderator who said this is redundant: Nobody else made this comment yet. (actually there was one similar comment nested in a few layers, posted ten minutes before, but come on!)
In conclusion, Windows Longhorn seems to be an interesting specimen. But 2005 is a long ways away.
