I pulled down this TP of Opera a few days ago, and was quite impressed by how much better it runs than TP3. I think this is a lot closer to being my everyday browser than is the Mozilla offering, and they've still managed to keep the package under 1MB. This partly stems from the fact that they havent tried to cram an email reader, newsreader and HTML editor into Opera. A wise choice, and I hope they are not thinking of straying from that approach.
What version of Windows are you using?? You know, I've tried 3.1/95/98/NT and they're all extremely unstable and slow. Please send me a copy of the version you are using, because obviously I've missed out on this secret new release. Do you still have to reboot the computer after installing new software on this version? Cant wait to try it...
As long as I can remember, the Mozilla builds have crashed every time it interacts with the filesystem on my Debian distro. Segfaults every time I try and save or access a file. Anyone else seen this or have a cure?
I downloaded SO5.2b (Linux) a couple of days ago. ITs interface hasnt changed much, but there are some subtle new features, some nice, some not. I was rather hoping that they would jettison the Windows-esque start button, but it is still there. Unfortuantely, some type of security problem causes the application to crash when accessing almost any web page. It does a nice job of sucking in your settings from 5.1 and even your mail and newsgroups from Netscape. Still quite buggy, but beta is beta.
I have used JBuilder, though I use AnyJ now, and I think it is a terrific piece of software. I was extremely productive on it, and it was a nice change from Cafe's shortcomings.
I've found myself using the StarOffice browser more and more on both Solaris and Netscape. Its not as "pretty" perhaps, but its more stable and well integrated with the rest of the suite, which I use a lot. Few complaints so far.

Go look up "operating system" in the dictionary. You'll find it doesnt match the description of Windows very well.

But I swear it was in self-defence
