Actually, I believe that M$ might have tied in the code for IE with windoze so that they could say 'See, look what happens when you remove IE'. They think everyone is dumb and they can just paint their own picture of how things are and that's the way it will be. Of course that's their problem and they'll have to rework windoze if that's in fact true. I think it would be corporate suicide if they were to stop shipping windoze. Bill
