Right. Strangely enough, I did install IE4, as shipped by Prodigy, including Active Desktop. Like I said here before, as near as I can tell Microsoft for once is guilty of understatement, it looked like Hyperactive Desktop to me. Then, when I uninstalled it, IE3 did show up on the uninstall panel, where it wasn't before. On my other OSR2 machine, though, IE3 is still there with no uninstall option.

And as for the company line du jour on the 3% uninstall, I will again defend the Judge, I mean how was he supposed to know that uninstall means something totally different for IE than it does for everything else? Want to join the Reg/Dowd weasel defense on that one, Denni? Of course, no one outside of Microsoft could understand the infinite complexity of OS/browser integration, so you must not understand either.

Cheers, Dan.
