	So Microsoft NOW lets them use ActiveX........ MS waited till they
choked Netscape a little in the market to give it over.

	MSIE is intentionally integrated with win95 from the start!  Just like
Paintbrush for BMP files back in win 3.1, MSIE for web pages in 95.

	When I bought my computer with 95 on it, I had to change like 20
filetypes set to open in msie to their respective editing programs I had
(even GIF files for god sakes)

	As for the "facts and figures" above (1.5 times faster at web pages and
30% faster at Java) give some proof before you say those things.

	One thing I still like about Netscape is that although I always load
pages with images, I like the ability to turn it off (referring to auto
load images) when I am in a hurry to get at the page.  I haven't seen
that for MSIE.

	Hasn't changed since 1.2?  Which web browser invented the frames idea
in version 2.0, may I ask?  And how many pages are influenced now by
frames, may I ask?  And which browser company first signed an agreement
with Sun the creators of Java?

	This is the one statement in this post I can agree with.
