And i don't think that they really have much interest in it any more.
The mass of users seems to use the browser (& email program) that came
with their OS and don't update it. So i guess we won't see anything
before the next OS (try). (And if there aren't millions of new users
all the time, they aren't learning from their errors, otherwise the
latest virii wouldn't have such a population :-)

I believe I read somewhere that MS has no plans to enhance IE for at least a couple of years. Given the penetration of IE, why bother, eh? But it does offer a nice window of opportunity for the developers of other browsers. Already, Moz is way ahead in features. (And security, it would seem.)


And of course i use Mozilla. I guess i can't live any longer without
the web developer's toolbar and Live HTTP headers! :-) A customer even
insisted in M$ IE and Mozilla (nothing else :-) and strictly forbid
the use of JavaScript.

I like the "Link Toolbar". Used properly, it can make site navigation easier. Oh yeah, that extension to disable Flash animations is nice!

Cheers! Hans
