I disagree.  I had been using MS stuff on my macs ever since i got my 
first mac back in 2000.  I no longer use ANY MS software as it has proved 
too annoying for me.

IE 4 is real garbage on the 68k macs as well, as is OE 4.  OE 5 is 
feature rich but I still prefer ClarisEmailer on both my 68k and PowerPC 
machines.

Disagree.  IE is kindof slow and big for my tastes.  Even on the 450 G3 I 
think IE's performance is wanting.  I use iCab acroos the line at my 
house now, from the Quadra all the way up to the G3.

That MS button thing would be such an immense turn-off for me.  Hehe I'm 
glad I dont use THAT browser.
