James, Web Kracked, the odd thing is that when I open Vista om my triple-boot box, Firefox 3.1 beta works nominally, but I can't get IE 8 beta 2 to work - possibly because my home page is my Gmail inbox. Thus IE succeeds in cutting off its nose to spite its face. Not surprising that Firefox's market share in Europe is now over 30 %.... Henri
