Day in and day out, I am amazed at what IE5 can do.  The extensibility is

I'd like to see that browser be Mozilla, but MSIE is still far, far more
solid.  BTW, does MS have any plans to release a Linux version of MSIE?
Or is it recommended to run it under WINE instead?


Anything that I can do to help you "like" IE better, I will do.

This thread has helped a lot.  I actually like MSIE5 quite a bit, as a
browser -- from the user side of things.  From the server side, the number
of problems in the tip release that I have to worry about is now down to 1.


But _please_ limit your rants to the latest version 5.01.

OK, I'll really try.  What is the latest MacOS release number of MSIE?
