And why is the MAC version only 5 megs but the windows is 40 megs?>

Why are you asking silly questions? IE for Mac and IE for Windows are two different products. That is why there is such a difference in heft? The DLL's are part of the Windows OS, where the Mac incarnation does not have such attributes. If you were a true tech head you would know this. I am a lay person and this is painfully obvious.

It is "painfully" obvious to us all. All this dumb geek knows is that software originates has text and gets compiled. The text does something. Does the Window's version do 8 times the "something" as the Mac version? Does the Windows text code (or any Windows APPLICATION) compiled yield a footprint 8 TIMES the size as the Mac version?

I don't know these answers, since I'm still kicking and screaming from the Unix world.

Prove it! I run Windows NT 4.0 sp3 with IIS 4.0, tell me how and why it is not a real OS.

I didn't say the great NT was not a real OS. Why it is the OS for the next century. A program that manages pixels on your screen has nothing to do with the hardware functions. Luckily, MS doesn't have a lock on CRT standards. Backward compatibility tells me you are still running DOS. And what is that 640K being booted and all those DOS terds?

Reggie's running DOS, Nanna, Nanna, Nanna.
