I've just got the cdrom from the ATO and I'd have to say from looking
that it's as you would expect - a responding NO...

Looking at the author of some of the HTML code, some person call KAZ
appears to be involved. 

Guess that's why they get the big bucks. After all why not ignore an OS
with the same market share as MAC OSX.

Here's the CD contents top level before you bother getting it:

-r-xr-xr-x    1 root     root           43 Feb 23 10:31 autorun.inf*
dr-xr-xr-x    1 root     root         2048 Feb 23 15:00 CSI/
dr-xr-xr-x    1 root     root         2048 Feb 23 13:31 html/
dr-xr-xr-x    1 root     root         6144 Feb 23 13:32 IE6_sp1/
-r-xr-xr-x    1 root     root       821975 Feb 23 14:58 Install.exe*
dr-xr-xr-x    1 root     root         2048 Feb 23 13:32 javaInstall/
dr-xr-xr-x    1 root     root         2048 Feb 23 13:32 mac_install/
dr-xr-xr-x    1 root     root         2048 Mar  9 15:43 misc/
dr-xr-xr-x    1 root     root         2048 Feb 23 13:32 NetscapeInstall/
-r-xr-xr-x    1 root     root       310154 Feb 23 13:31 setup.exe*
dr-xr-xr-x    1 root     root         2048 Feb 23 13:32 tts/

The java stuff initially got my hopes up but it's an install so that the
applet code will work!!!!!

So, lets go for a nice platform independent delivery mechanism then
insist that the user have WiXX or Mac OS X to run the web browser...

Ijuts.. I mean, mozilla runs on waay more platforms than bloody netscape
and anyway, they could have delivered in a swing interface and skipped
the whole browser nonsense altogether.

Still I guess they are getting better.... it wasn't _just WinX
