Sean, Thanks for the feedback (NS vs. IE 4.) Pretty sobering that NS won't do more to help you, given who you work for. Its absurd considering the $$$ we spend with them... Glad to hear you find IE 4.01 stable. I tried it briefly, and had some quick crashes, but didn't stick with it long enough to give it a rigorous test. (I confess that the changes IE 4 makes to system files also gave me the willies RE stability, and it seemed that taskman was recording higher memory usage levels after IE 4 was installed than before.) I gather you didn't enable active desktop? You're running a plain vanilla SP3/IE4 install? Yep, Active Desktop is full of bugs. Wouldn't touch it.... NT is is stable with IE 4.01 installed... I don't really track memory usage before and after. I have 256M of RAM in my primary work and home PC's so its generally not a problem... No really big transistion.. Just don't try to uninstall it. Yes, its like half an OS upgrade.... Biggest problems with IE are its JS is flakier than NS. SI personal profiles sometimes don't work. 2. Each bookmark is stored as a file so my 3000+ bookmarks from netscape waste a lot of space with IE. On almost every other front I like it better. I'm not a huge microsoft fan but judge products on their own merit and IE 4.0 is a nice product. Office 97 on the other hand is a disgrace... :) Sean
