Have you ever heard of IE 4.0?

You are claiming N6 was prematurely released. This is a mozilla group.
Mozilla was not prematurely released. It has yet to be released

It's bluescreened my twice today. That's twice IN ONE DAY more than

IE 6 is not a complete re-write from scratch. IE 6 is IE 4.0's code
with some improvements and new features. Had it been a complete
re-write, I bet since MS doesn't do open source it would be were Mozilla
was 3 1/2 years ago

A) It can't be crap hardware. It's a homebuilt, I know each and every
piece in it. And if it were crap hardware, that would show up in Unreal
Tournament, Allegiance, Mozilla, everything. Not just IE. IE lost me
when they put it into my OS. Since it's tied into Windows, just opening
an IE window runs the risk of me losing my whole OS to a crash.
Netscape doesn't have this problem. Mozilla doesn't either. I wouldn't
even mind if Windows just used IE as the default for things. Like I
open a folder and it automatically started an instance of IE with that
folder displayed. But it doesn't. IE is ALWAYS RUNNING. If I shut off
every service and every process I can, and close every window and TSR,
IE is still active. There is still a chance that a burp in it will make
my entire system go bye bye.
B) Ok. I've driven my car many times. I've never been killed in a car
crash. So I guess everyone killed in a car crash (even if it's not
their fault) is doing something wrong. Because I (ONE TEST CASE!) have
never had a problem.
That's the dumbest excuse I've ever heard. How do you use IE6? Do you
just open it up and let it sit there at a blank page? Or do you open up
3 to 10 windows and actually use that thing called the world wide web?
