The open source part of OS X will drop you at a text login prompt - none of the eye candy bits are open source I don't think. I don't evision a text-based IE any time soon.
In any case they haven't really done any significant updates to Windows IE in a while either - lack of competition seems to have that effect.
I'm not exactly a Mac zealot, but I use both platforms, and they're right in one respect - Safari is much nicer than IE.
It'd be curious to find out exactly what happened at Nullsoft. I mean, things seemed good for a while after the acquisition. Then it seems like they brought in a lot of new people and came out with the bloated beast that is WinAmp 3. How much involvement did Justin have in that fiasco?
Then recently they brought out WinAmp 2.9X which sort of undercut WinAmp 3, but in a good way.
Gnutella, and then WASTE which was such a perfect name for the program, hehe, as long as you've read Pynchon's The Crying of Lot 49.
Well, as long as Justin diversified and didn't have all his money tied up in AOL stock he's probably doing pretty well and shouldn't have to put up with the headaches if he doesn't want to.
How is this any different than Winamp Shoutcast that has been around for years? If you go to shoutcast.com they have a listing of 4,000 streams you can listen to. Has the RIAA tried to bust them?
Here's the legal bit they have up there if you're curious...
