Thank you for the information. I'm using Netscape for my e-mail, but I think I'll switch over to Thunderbird so I won't have to load the entire suite every time.
I'm thinking of switching over from IE to Firefox for my browsing, too, although I need to keep my IE updated, because of my web design business. For obvious reasons, I design for IE primarily.
For obvious reasons, I design to W3C standards for the Internet, but I hold back from using the stuff that's too complicated for IE's little brain. Sometimes for specialty or "geek" sites I'll throw it all in to make a point (get a real, W3C compliant browser if you want to view this right).
But in latest news, seems Mozilla and Opera have had an effect. Microsoft is apparently reconstituting its browser division. Time for Microsoft to steal ideas from free software some more!
