Sal, >>What advantage does Internet Explorer on Windows have over Netscape Navigator on Linux? > You mean, aside from ease-of-use (by like 10x) and application support? Have you ever run Netscape on UNIX? What exactly makes a browser easier to use on a Windows-based machine? I browse on Windows/MacOS/UNIX platforms everyday. No difference other than speed of platforms. All looks the same; functions the same. That's the beauty of HTML and Java Sal! As more and more apps are written in Java and as more apps are server-based over the Internet, Linux becomes more viable. Cheers, Norm

<What advantage does Internet Explorer on Windows have over Netscape Navigator on Linux? You mean, aside from ease-of-use (by like 10x) and application support?> No, he probably means full integration with about 30 other popular applications through COM, complete customization, and the use of a full programmings language (VBA) to link it to the world's most ubiquitous productivity application suite as well as a couple of hundred third party apps. If not he probably means the full screen feature.
