Secondly its annoying that it naggs you if you save in.doc format and tries to make you use its own proprietary format.
Besides it not being proprietary, I totally agree with you that it's annoying that it nags about formats though, but I do recall that you can set.doc/.xls as the standaard format in which to save your documents.
I'm no programmer or an Apple-expert, but I've always understood that MacOsX is based on Darwin and Darwin is Open Source. Only the Aqua-stuff isn't.
So why is Microsoft saying it can't compete because "Apple has better access to the underlying operating system"?
Please enlighten me.
Jeez: It takes a Red Hat Certified Engineer _TWO_ hours to change the look and feel of the Unified Desktop?
No wonder my grandma couldn't figure it out.

I truly love Mozilla and all of its children and have been using it since M9, but this prefetch feature: won't this influence the statistics?
Will we not see an amazing increase in viewed pages per mozilla-user, thus creating the illusion that Mozilla has a bigger userbase than it in fact has?
Think about it: pages I would normally never view are now cached without me ever seeing them. If they are cached, they are being logged by the webserver serving those pages. The logs will have a huge increase in Mozilla activity.
Hmmm. Come to think of this: how about setting up a few bots that surf all over the place using Mozilla-based browsers! Should be easy enough, especially with/dev/random and Type Ahead: It should be possible to randomly access pages leaving the Mozilla-footprint in every webservers log. Neat!

GAIM [1] has (limited, I think) jabber support and is also available for Windows.
GAIM also has 'native' support for MSN and ICQ and is pretty stable.
