I still can't believe you'd use crap like IE6 ;)
The war between Netscape and Internet Exploder is FAR from over.

What point was that? AFAICS Netscape is still ahead of IE in many ways...
Anyway, Netscape's open-source browser Mozilla reaches v1.0 soon, so we'll
see what happens.

Netscape made the most useful extensions to HTML, many of which made it
into the final standard. I can't name any IE extension that ever became
official HTML.

If you really hope that, start by not letting yourself get *ssf**ked by
Micro$oft like this. Micro$oft is the embodiment of greed, even you should
see that.
Micro$oft even ignores the law! They ignored the whole Winblows/IE ruling
and incorporated many more software in Winblows XP, abusing their monopoly
more than ever.

It's just politics :)
