It works, but definitely not my brower of choice. It runs slow compared to opera and others.
However, it does work on the myriad of broken sites with lousy coding. I guess its emulating IE or the Necromancia.

Until Linux is clean and pretty, and behaves consistently, it will likely be percieved by the mass public as "oh, there are so many different ones! I'm confused!"
Yep. That's because linux isn't an operating system. Its a kernel and only a kernel.
To complete the OS, these silly distros toss in this and that from here and there. Linux isn't ever going to go anywhere until thise fragmentation and duplication of effort stops.
Its going to remain in the realm of geeks and wannabes for a long time.
Certainly not me. I have never understood why zealots want everyone to be like them. It doesn't matter which linux flavor-of-the-month is being pushed since people will use what suits their needs.
Linux certainly isn't the end-all to operating systems. Anyone that has used it knows what I mean. Those same people who have security issues with M$ will have far more problems in trying to use a free OS.
Do you really want those kinds of users? I say no. I'll not be spending my time teaching and hand-holding. Let them wallow in their misery.
After all, what will you get out of pushing Linux? Absolutely nothing. The commercial linux tag-alongs peddling their "latest" CDROM or club might make a few bucks, but you won't.
Don't get me wrong, I use and have used unix (not linux) for years and won't ever use M$ again. If you use it and it works for you, that's great. But this constant preaching and zealotry won't get you anything. Spend your time doing bug-fixes or writing new applications to do the things you need to do. You'll have a lot more to show for it at the end of the day.
Re-evaluate your priorities here. Think of why are you using what you do and then go do that. Whether or not someone else is using what you use shouldn't make a bit of difference.
Since it is "published" the majority of its intended audience will never even hear a whiff of any criticism, no matter how much we holler here.
If you post a comment here and there's no one reading it, does it make any difference?
So... nothing to see here.. just the usual... move along.

If you want to learn about COMPUTERS, then yeah, they're great. But most educational software is nothing more than an elaborate set of flash cards.
I completely agree here. I've maintained computers and taught CS at the college level.
They can be very useful for implementing solutions to problems, but the solution comes from the mind.. not the machine. All too often, computers/calculators are being used as a substitute for the discipline of learning.
Children, especially, should be kept away from computers until they are adults. It becomes "toys" and "games" rather than a tool.
If you think about it, if the politicians are all for it and spending big bucks, then there *has* to be somthing wrong;-)
Someone coming out and admitting he made a mistake, but at the time was trying to do the best for his company deserves respect. We need more people like that in the industry!
I'm sure the guys at Enron were doing their best too..yeah right. He either did no research or took bad advice. I just don't see how he could not have known what he was doing with all the press it has gotten.
CEO's like this should end up getting the ax. Hopefully before the company is beyond the point of recovery.
Perhaps you could build a 100x tube of clearasil.
I just don't understand how stuff like this is rated as anything worthwhile and be a/. article.
Man, what a waste.

Lets bury this dead horse.
How is this of any interest to geeks?

Yeah..yeah.. go ahead.. mod me a troll
I don't give a shit.
