<You've said this quite a bit. What exactly can it do that Communicator can't? What can it do better? I've only used IE once, so I'm really not that familiar with it.>
MSFT's DHTML implementation is far superior to, and more flexible than NSCP's.
The user interface is more aesthetic
The user interface is much more configurable by the end user (moveable tolbars, expanding/collapsing right pane for misc. viewing such as searching adn channels, full screen feature, enlarging fonts - NAV just got this feature).
The auto-password feature is slick
The Active X/Java/Plugin architecture gives it more flexibility in extending via third party software.
VB and VBA apps run natively inside the browser autmotically as a container, and without consuming gargantuan resources. NSCP cannot do this, it uses OLE, which can crash a machine with 32 MB.
Favorites can be organized in folders, NAV cannot do this.
IE's push channels seem to be organized better, but I don't like this feature in either browser.
IE's HTML editor is superior
Outlook express makes NSCP mail look silly, it is more functioanl, more aesthic, more customizable, and faster.
IE integrates into the most ubiquitous OS much more tightly than NAV. |
