Hey - I don't mean to condone full-fledged bashing of Netscape...it's what I use in linux, but it does need some help
things I notice:
Loading very LONG pages...after the HTML is downloaded, the browaser will sit there for a couple of seconds before displaying the page.
And...um...anyone try to download Mpeg2 files with Netscape will find it totally garbles the file! You can find some kickass MPEG2 music videos at http://www.visionsvids.com/ and try to use netscape try out the garbling:-)
Microsoft's (I hate to say it) IE is..um...well...better at these tasks.
I don't think I'd want to run any version of IE for Linux, because then that'd mean there might be a few bugs in my Slackware system!
And anyway - Microsoft is basically competing with Linux for market share (at least in the server area) and they wouldn't want to fuel their enemies with another product. I think they only make a version for Apple is because they are not a noticable "threat." make sense?
Of course no web server is absolutely secure. Some, however, are more vulnerable than others...yes I am talking about IIS. They should have installed their own patches.

Congratulations...you have first post. Explain relevance though to article?
Wow, this is one election! Just shows the US is almost equally split between the two candidates. I'm betting on Bush!
