This seems to support what I talked about in an earlier post about Microsoft
making the rederning engine part of the operating system.  Any developer can
create their own user interface.  Please take a look at NeoPlanet
(http://www.neoplanet.com/).  If you like IE but don't like the Micorosoft-
feel of it, try NeoPlanet.

PMFJI, but most of the complaints lodged against MSIE (in this thread) have
been about the *engine*, not the GUI wrapper.  The issues discussed have been
how IE interprets various HTML constructs, and how it renders them onto the
display.

Nobody gives a rip about the wrapper.
