Except IE provides them, Mozilla doesn't. Advantage: IE, right?

Are you entirely sure about that? When I downloaded IE 6.0
(PRwhatever), which I can only assume would have to have updated
plugins/ActiveX's/whatever included with it, I don't remember it being
significantly larger than Mozilla's ~8MB download. Isn't it possible
that it's just calling PlaySound()?

Well I can't argue with that. Sure seems to be getting that new Mac OS
way more attention than it deserves.
