Netscape 4 doesn't use Gnome, and it's nothing like 'monolithic'. I don't know what Galeon uses the transfer manager for exactly, but I doubt it's needed just to send out HTTP requests (I wrote a simple HTTP library recently, and it weighs in about 10kb).
Apart from the fact that ACE is hideously slow to unpack, all three fileformats only unpack. So whats the advantage of using ZIP over tarballs? I mean there are lots of GUI frontends to tar already...
This is true. Most of the people I know are just pumping as many songs they can get, burn them on CD's & not buying anything. This also counts for me, but I wouldn't buy CD's for over $20 anyhow (and never did). I WOULD pay $1 to download 1 or 2 songs I like, so I'm frankly a bit surprised about the outcome of this survey.

'Will grow along with Microsoft steadily'. With Apple's market share growing too, I'm wondering where those extra percents come from.
