ahhaha: Thanks for your well thought out response. I am not a techie by any stretch, but I'll take a stab with a question nonetheless:

Let me digress here. When MSFT asserted that IE is an intimate part of Windows, indeed intrinsic to it, they shut the door on the possibility of writing a version of IE for Linux unencumbered.

Ok, sounds logical to me. So, does this mean that the door is open for AOL's soon to be Netscape division to write a version of their browser to Linux? Then, from there write apps to the browser once broadband is mainstream? This would seem to expand the "AOL Anywhere" war cry to "AOL anywhere, do anything". Am I understanding this correctly?
